Dutch police find 4 kilogram “sink” made entirely of MDMA in drug bust
Police made an unusual discovery during a drug investigation this week when they found four kilograms of MDMA molded to look like a sink. The case led to the arrests of a 35-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman for possession of ecstasy pills, MDMA, and a firearm in Zwijndrecht on Thursday, according to a police statement.
Officers working as part of a specialized national police unit spotted a car leaving a home that morning in Zwijndrecht, a Zuid-Holland city just west of Dordrecht and south of Rotterdam. They pulled the car over as part of a traffic stop, and quickly found six kilograms of amphetamines. This led to the arrest of the 35-year-old man from Nijmegen.
The officers returned back to their initial stakeout position, and spotted a woman leaving the same home while carrying a box. Police said she placed this next to a garbage bin.
"A loaded firearm was found in the box, as further investigation revealed. The woman had probably been warned after the man from Nijmegen was arrested," police said in the statement.
"In another box that was next to the dumpster was a 'sink' made of almost 4 kilograms of MDMA. The 33-year-old woman was immediately arrested and locked up for questioning," police said.
Both suspects were expected to be interrogated on Friday.
