Boskoop – Mayor Liesbeth Spies closed a house on Azalealaan in Boskoop for three months on Wednesday, January 31. The reason was the police finding a commercial quantity of hard and soft drugs in the home earlier that month. On January 11, a 43-year-old resident of Alphen was arrested as a suspect.
The police recently received several signals of drug trafficking in the area and therefore searched the house on Azalealaan on January 11. This led to the discovery of hard and soft drugs in the home and the arrest of the 43-year-old suspect. He has now been arraigned and released again. In the ongoing investigation, more arrests cannot be ruled out.
Act together against drug trafficking
Residents can suffer greatly from drug use and drug dealing. The trade takes place in the illegal circuit and violence is often not avoided. Innocent bystanders can also become victims of this violence.
Criminals who become rich through drug trafficking often feel untouchable. But they aren’t. Government partners such as the police, the municipality, the Public Prosecution Service, housing and the Tax Authorities are starting more and more investigations to tackle this serious, debilitating crime. With these actions, the government is jointly tackling undermining, breaking up criminal networks and reducing the production of hemp and synthetic drugs. The police, municipality, Public Prosecution Service and other partners continue to investigate and carry out interventions.
Report drug nuisance
The municipality and the police carry out extra checks on drug nuisance and can use the help of residents. Do you experience drug nuisance and/or do you suspect drug trafficking? Please contact the police on telephone number 0900-8844 or via your local police officer. Would you rather remain anonymous? Please contact Meld Misdaad Anoniem via telephone number 0800-7000.
