More drug labs dismantled in NL last year; Meth labs more than tripled

Despite the fact that the coronavirus pandemic closed clubs and canceled festivals last year, synthetic drug production in the Netherlands continued unabated. The police dismantled 108 synthetic drug labs last year, 20 percent more than in 2019, and cleared out 23 percent more storage locations. The number of crystal meth labs more than tripled form 10 in 2019 to 32 last year. Another point of concern is the presence of Mexican criminals found at various crystal meth labs busted in the Netherlands.
