drug bust in dordrecht!!!!!!!!!

Our bedroom is on the second floor, facing the narrow cobbled Schijverstraat, a narrow residential street that is whisper quiet at night.

The banging was loud, aggressive and repeated. We both woke with a shock. Strong torch-lights split the night, playing onto our window and lighting up houses along the street. There was loud, but muffled shouting, communicating urgency.

I sent Syl down.

Four uniformed politzie were on the street, their vehicle outside our house, motor running. It was a drug bust in the house next door. Was anyone there? Had we seen anyone? Did the houses connect? No,no,no. Sorry for the trouble - goodnight.

We learnt from the owner of our house that the neighbour had apparently been growing cannabis in the basement. He wasn't there, maybe gone to Portugal?

The police came back later, entered the house and took the drugs.
