Capelle aan den IJssel, zaterdag, 7 februari 2026.
Bij een politieactie in Capelle aan den IJssel is een grote hoeveelheid drugs gevonden. In een woning aan de Hudsonbaai werden ongeveer 10 kilogram verdovende middelen ontdekt. Daarnaast lag er een vuurwapen met munitie en zo’n 10.000 euro contant geld. De politie heeft ook een Rolex en een auto in beslag genomen. De 48-jarige bewoner is aangehouden. Hij wordt vandaag voorgeleid aan de rechter-commissaris. De actie maakt deel uit van een landelijke week tegen criminele geldstromen. Het is een zware interventie gericht op georganiseerde criminaliteit.

large drug haul and weapons discovered in capelle

Approximately 10 kilograms of narcotics were uncovered during a police search in a residence on Hudsonbaai in Capelle aan den IJssel. Alongside the drugs, officers found a firearm with ammunition and roughly €10,000 in cash. Authorities also confiscated a Rolex watch and a vehicle linked to the property. The operation targeted suspected money laundering activities tied to organized crime networks [1]. Evidence suggests deliberate concealment of illicit assets within residential premises [2].

man arrested amid anti-crime operation

The 48-year-old male resident was taken into custody following the discovery of illegal goods inside his home. He faces preliminary charges related to drug possession, illegal firearms ownership, and suspicion of money laundering. Judicial authorities scheduled his appearance before the examining magistrate today [3]. Law enforcement officials emphasize this action forms part of a broader initiative targeting financial flows connected to organized crime groups operating across South Holland [4]. The investigation remains ongoing [5].

coordinated crackdown on criminal finances

This intervention aligns with a national enforcement campaign focused on disrupting criminal financial systems. Simultaneous operations occurred in neighboring municipalities including Rotterdam and Schiedam. In one instance, a 45-year-old woman was apprehended after withdrawing over €43,000 from a safety deposit box along with gold and jewelry [6]. Police suspect these funds originated from unlawful enterprises. Financial crimes units continue analyzing transaction patterns and asset acquisitions potentially tied to underground economies [7].
