Last night the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee arrested two Amsterdammers aged 29 and 30 for drugs and firearms possession at Schiphol. The Marechaussee found 19,000 euros in suspected counterfeit money and an amount of drugs in their car.

The two drove on Koetsierstraat at Schiphol in such a striking way that the military police stopped them and wanted to check them. The 30-year-old driver was found to be intoxicated.
During the search of the car, the Marechaussee officers found 19,000 euros in suspected counterfeit money and half a pound of cocaine in a backpack of the co-driver. The money and drugs have been confiscated. Both men have been transferred to the station for further investigation.
After the men were taken away, the marechaussees saw a loaded revolver lying on the street. This firearm has also been seized and is being investigated by forensic investigators.
