Police in Rotterdam arrested nine men suspected of participating in a criminal organisation involved in drug crime. Arrest teams raided 11 addresses, including homes and business premises in Crooswijk, Ommurder and Delfshaven, and seized narcotics, large sums of cash and several cars. The type of narcotics was not disclosed.

Eight of the suspects are from Rotterdam and one is from The Hague. They are aged between 27 and 40; three are also suspected of money laundering. All nine remain in custody while the Public Prosecution Service investigates, and further arrests have not been ruled out.
