€55 million ketamine cache found in Netherlands

Dutch police found a lot of ketamine hidden away, worth a lot of money. It’s the biggest find they’ve ever had.

Police found a lot of boxes with two tonnes of drugs in a shed in Googweg, in Muiderberg, east of Amsterdam. They were told about it by someone.

A 55-year-old man was taken into custody while he was living in a house on the property.

In the Netherlands, ketamine is not against the law, but you need to register and keep track of it if you want to sell or store it.

If you trade without registering, you could go to jail for up to six years.

Police think the stuff they found is worth about €55 million or £47. 2 million if sold on the streets.

“It’s the most ketamine ever found in the Netherlands,” said a statement.

They found a supply of strong drugs, including ketamine, and took it away to be destroyed.

The police say that the buying and selling of ketamine is often connected to other crimes, like hiding illegal money and having weapons.

The Netherlands has a large transportation system, relaxed drug laws, and is close to many profitable markets. This has made it a center for drug trading to grow.

Ketamine is sometimes called a “party drug” because it can make people see things that aren’t really there. Using it this way can hurt your body a lot and even kill you.

Using drugs or substances for fun can cause problems with your memory, make it hard to control your bladder, and can even make your muscles stop working.

Doctors use the drug to make people sleepy, reduce pain, and numb an area for surgery. It is also often used on animals.

Doctors can use ketamine as an anaesthetic in some countries. They can also prescribe it for depression even though it is not officially approved for this use. This is happening in small hospitals in the US and the UK.
