Video: Police raid cocaine recovery facility in Sprang-Capelle

Dutch police discovered an active facility for recovering cocaine from contaminated materials late Friday night in a house on Raadhuisstraat, Tilburg police reported on X.

A police arrest team carried out the raid around 2 a.m. after receiving a tip. The house, described as a farmhouse, contained the recovery operation in its attic, a police spokesperson said. No drugs were being produced on-site.

The National Dismantling Facility (LFO) immediately began investigating the property. Police said on Friday the building will remain under guard overnight, and further investigation is scheduled to continue on Saturday.

A car parked behind the property was seized during the raid. It is not yet known whether any arrests were made.

#Sprang-Capelle I Aan de Raadhuisstraat is zojuist een werkende cocaïnewasserij aangetroffen. Het arrestatieteam viel hier vannacht binnen. De Landelijke Faciliteit Ontmantelen houdt nu een onderzoek. Het pand wordt hierna bewaakt, en morgen wordt opnieuw onderzoek gedaan.
