Closure for three months

On Wednesday, April 9, the mayor closed the property in question for a period of three months.

Through this measure, a repetition of this serious disturbance of public order is prevented and the mayor wants to bring peace to the immediate vicinity of the premises. 

Mayor Stapelkamp: "The closure is a clear signal that I want to keep drug crime out of our municipality. I urge residents to report it if they see anything suspicious. Whether it's suspicions of a hemp nursery or a lab for synthetic drugs. We do not want these illegal practices, nor the risks they pose to public order and safety."
