900 kilos of fireworks found under Haarlem homes

The police found between 800 and 100 thousand kilograms of fireworks in a garage on Apphons Ariensstraat in Haarlem last night. The garage lay directly under a home. There were 38 boxes with between 20 and 25 kilograms of illegal fireworks in each of them. The police also found a large amount of raw materials and pills. This probably has something to do with hard drugs. The police is investigating. No one has been arrested.
