A drug investigation launched at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport has resulted in four arrests spanning two separate enforcement actions in January and May 2026, after authorities intercepted a large cocaine shipment bound for Australia and later detained four suspects across Zuid-Holland, the Koninklijke Marechaussee, the Dutch military police, reports.
The case began on Jan. 15 this year, when the Cargo HARC-team started a criminal investigation at Schiphol after Douane seized a large quantity of cocaine hidden in an air freight shipment destined for Australia. On the same day, investigators arrested a 31-year-old woman from Capelle aan den IJssel.
