Attention
The driver of the truck attracted the attention of a police officer on the A58 near Etten-Leur on Friday afternoon because he was driving in a weaving manner. When the police officer wanted to see what the cause of this was, he saw that the man was driving the truck with a phone in his hand. He pulled the driver over and ticketed him. Then the police officer checked the freight papers.
Bags
When the officer also looked in the cargo area of ​​the truck, he found several bags containing the illegal drug ketamine. The driver of the truck, a 26-year-old, was arrested for drug possession. The ketamine and the truck were confiscated. The suspect spent a night in jail. He was questioned on Saturday, the police announced in a message today.
Against pain
The Healthcare and Youth Inspectorate (IGJ) of the Ministry of Health is also involved in this case. Ketamine is originally a medicine that can be used as a painkiller and as an anesthetic during operations. It may therefore not be traded unregistered, for example as a recreational party drug. The suspect may therefore also be sentenced by the inspectorate.
