First zombie-drug dealer arrested in Netherlands

A flakka dealer was arrested in Nijmegen on Tuesday, the first to be arrested in the Netherlands. Flakka is a new hard drug that recently started circulating in the Netherlands. It is also known as the zombie-drug and according to the police, can make you do "very strange things", Omroep Gelderland reports.

The arrest was made based on a tip from Alberto Stegeman of the program Undercover in Nederland. He told the police that a drug deal was set to happen in Nijmegen. The police acted on this information and arrested the suspected dealer.

Flake makes users completely lose themselves and think that they are invulnerable, according to the broadcaster. There are numerous videos on the internet of flakka users diving through windows or in front of moving cars.
