Police discover partially active drug lab in Maaseik, possible link to chase in the Netherlands

Police discovered a partially dismantled drug lab on Venlosesteenweg in Maaseik, believed to be a 'multi-lab' for various synthetic drugs. The lab was still partially operational, prompting the involvement of the Clandestine Lab Response Unit for safe dismantling. Investigations are ongoing to determine the lab's extent and the substances produced. The case may be linked to a police chase involving a suspicious vehicle that fled towards the Netherlands, where a suspect was later arrested after colliding with a police car. Authorities are investigating potential connections between the suspect and the drug lab.
