Police raided 19 marijuana plantations in Brabant on Tuesday and arrested 14 people as part of a major crackdown on the illegal drugs trade.
Police also carried out spot checks on 16 shops which sell equipment necessary to grow marijuana. Four of them were given an official warning and two lost their licences.
In one of the so-called growshops, police found 350 kilos of hashish, 5 kilos of cocaine, several million euros and 10 weapons, the public prosecution department confirmed on Wednesday,
The raids were made under the auspices of a new anti-marijuana task force made up of police, local authorities, the public prosecution department and tax officials.
While private citizens can grow up to four plants for personal use without being arrested, the organised marijuana industry is said to be one of the biggest cash crops in the country, worth between €2.5bn and €5bn a year.
Some 90% of production is for export.

This all has to do with the trailer gangs who operate there.There have been some killings and assassination attempts on mayors and rivals.Now they are fed up with the situation and going hard against the trailer community.There kingpin Janus van W is in jail and there is a void of leadership.Janus biggest rival is Scottish gangster Walter Douglas.He tried to kill Walter 2 times flying a hitsquad out to kill him in Afrika and Marbella.They were waiting at his mom house in Marbella when they got a text message from the police.Stop what you are doing.Very lucky man.They had a bomb hid at the house.
