Man, 50, held in Breda over cocaine imports via three ports
Seaport police arrested a 50-year-old man from Breda on Wednesday, and an examining magistrate has ordered him held for another fourteen days.
The seaport police entered a home on the Rijnstraat in Breda around 05:00 on Wednesday and arrested a 50-year-old man from the city. The raid was part of an investigation into cocaine imports via the ports of Vlissingen, Antwerp and Rotterdam.
Police see the man as having played a role in preparing the import of batches of cocaine through those three ports. Officers found several phones in the home and seized them, together with two cars.
The suspect was brought before the examining magistrate (rechter-commissaris) on Friday. The magistrate ruled that he must stay in pre-trial detention for fourteen more days.
