Police find 1,200 kilograms of heroin at Rotterdam office

The police confiscated 1,200 kilograms of heroin in an office building on Passerelstraat in Rotterdam earlier this week. The drugs were destroyed on Wednesday.

According to the Public Prosecutor in Rotterdam, the heroin has a street value of 36 million euros. The two suspects are in custody, and more arrests may follow.
