Police say 14 people have been arrested in the Netherlands and in Belgium and a large amount of narcotics seized in a major drugs operation covering both countries.
The arrests are part of an investigation that began early last year near the Belgian border and was later extended further north into the Netherlands. It also involved Spain. On Monday, police raided homes and business premises in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Eight people were arrested in the Netherlands and six in Belgium. No one was held in Spain although one address was raided.
In the Netherlands, 200,000 ecstasy pills, 2.5 kilos of cocaine, several kilos of amphetamines and 250 litres of GHB were confiscated. Four cannabis 'farms', eight guns and large amounts of cash were also discovered.
Around 200 Dutch and 125 Belgian police took part in the operation.
