The Brussels Capital Ixelles police zone dealt a serious blow to the drug scene this week. In two days, no fewer than nine searches took place, including in Brussels and Ixelles.
During these searches, various drugs were found. These included three active cannabis plantations, with a total of 1,562 plants. In addition, just over 5.5 kilograms of marijuana, 605 grams of cocaine and a small amount of heroin were also discovered.
In addition to the drugs, a large amount of cash was also found. The investigators thus found 124,000 euros in cash, as well as 25 small gold bars and 45 small silver bars. Two silenced firearms and a shotgun were also found at the addresses searched, along with luxury clothing with a total value of around 20,000 euros.
In total, 11 people were arrested and placed at the disposal of the investigating judge.
