Weert: almost a ton of MDMA intercepted
June 12, 2024

An extremely large stock of MDMA appears to have been found in the company warehouse in Weert where the police raided on March 11 : 920 kilos. The lab was in operation at the time of the raid. A suspect was arrested at the scene.

Four suspects
De Limburger writes that four suspects in the case are now before the judge. One of the suspects is Bas M., who was convicted in Belgium in 2022 for involvement in a drug lab in Leopoldsburg. Bas M. is the only one who has been completely released by the court for the time being. Another suspect is allowed to go home temporarily for his partner's delivery.

The police believe that other hard drugs were also produced in the lab on Ittervoorterweg in Weert.

Huge amount of
920 kilos is a huge amount of MDMA. Quantities like this are rarely found by police. MDMA is the active substance in ecstasy pills.

Depending on the strength of the pill, 15 to 20 million ecstasy pills could have been made from it, a value of more than 100 million euros on the Dutch market.

Largest lab
Justice places Bas M. in the group of Damien B. (33) and Gianni van der B. (31) from Weert, who are suspects in the Kiekendief investigation, about the largest lab for crystal meth discovered in the Netherlands: at the Hoogbosweg in Nederweert in July 2021.

Durham police make 92 arrests, seize $600K in drugs in ‘Project Martini’ human trafficking bust
Project Martini, a five-week investigation, resulted in 92 arrests, 113 criminal charges and 11 search warrants executed across Oshawa, Clarington, Whitby and Ajax.
Nearly 100 individuals have been arrested as part of Durham police’s “Project Martini,” an investigation into drug trafficking and human trafficking in the region.

The five-week investigation resulted in 92 arrests, 113 criminal charges and 11 search warrants executed across Oshawa, Clarington, Whitby and Ajax.

The charges laid were mostly related to drug trafficking, property crime, violent crime and obtaining sexual services.
In total, officers seized more than $600,000 worth of drugs including more than three kilograms of methamphetamine, over one kilogram of cocaine and close to one kilogram of fentanyl. They also seized $30,000 in cash.

“These arrests and seizures have put a significant dent into the drug trafficking in Durham region,” Supt. Ryan Connolly said in a media conference Monday morning.

“A lot” of the individuals arrested were released and police will be doing compliance checks, Connolly said.

Oshawa Mayor Dan Carter said the Project Martini made a “significant difference” and the city will be doing everything it possibly can to address the sale of illegal drugs in the region.


“If you are going to deal drugs in our city,” he said in the conference, “you are unwelcome.”
Carter also called on all levels of government to address “one of the worst healthcare crisis” Canada has ever experienced.

He said an average of 24 deaths are caused by overdose every day and that “we need to do a better job than what we’re doing today.”

Carter said he was also “very pleased” by the results of the human trafficking investigation.

“These are individuals that are the most vulnerable in our communities that are being victimized,” he said.

This project referred 62 individuals to public health support programs and an additional 38 individuals to support programs for sex trade workers, a media release said.
