Police found no less than 4,800 hemp-filled cookies in a bakery in Schiedam. A 39-year-old Schiedammer and a 53-year-old Rotterdammer were arrested.
The police, together with the municipality of Schiedam and the Public Prosecutor (OM), have been investigating the trafficking of soft drugs for some time. “The suspects and their special firing practices have come to light,” police said.
In the Koolhovenstraat bakery there were dozens of boxes with filled biscuits. The police also seized almost 90,000 euros in cash.
The men were arrested on Sunday and have since been released. They remain suspicious. The cookies were destroyed and the bakery was closed by order of the mayor.
