Spring 2024, Aalsmeer. An anonymous tip through the police chatbot: seven foreign trucks allegedly transport large amounts of money and drugs between ornamental plant products. The police immediately pick up the tip and start observing. <\/p>

Suspicious activity
<\/strong>The next day, two trucks load flowers at a loading dock and park. Moments later, the drivers exit their vehicles and return with boxes they are loading. A third truck is transferring industry-unique goods: a small motorcycle. After brief discussion among the drivers, two passenger cars join them. There is clear contact between drivers and occupants. <\/p>

The action and consequences
<\/strong>Of the seven trucks announced, three arrive. After leaving from Aalsmeer, they are stopped en route: in one cab there is almost a million in cash, in the other four kilos of cocaine. All the drivers are stopped. The flowers, of course, never arrive at their destination and are unusable after a week. The drivers are arrested and convicted. <\/p>

This is a typical example of a drug line not only transporting narcotics, but also laundering criminal proceeds through a flower shipment to southern Europe.<\/p>

Recognize signals
<\/strong>Pay attention: who is coming to your dock? If you don’t know them, have a chat. Is anything being added to the load? Are there passenger cars driving around trucks?

If you notice something, it helps to remember or jot down some details: license plate, color of car, name on truck, description, time of day, location.<\/p>

Reporting is different from reporting – it can be a signal of something that stands out or doesn’t feel right. This information is very useful in further investigation. <\/p>

For immediate suspicious situations, call 911 or police at 0900-8844. For a call or tips, contact the ornamental plantation location’s neighborhood police officer. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
