All the properties were either used as storage or as production centres, police said. Further details about the investigation will be published later on Monday.
On Saturday, police found three tonnes of hashish and chemicals for the production of ecstasy during a raid on a storage centre in Geleen. However, that case is not connected to Monday’s raids, police said.
