Arnhem man convicted after drugs lab found in apartment

Police found a drug laboratory in an apartment in Arnhem, where a man admitted processing cocaine. He said he had started doing so only on the day the police entered, but that explanation was not believed, partly because of the absence of toiletries and because of the apartment’s water consumption. The court later convicted the 29-year-old Arnhem man of possessing more than 2.6 kilograms of hard drugs and thousands of pills. He must serve a prison sentence.
