Geladen vuurwapen, drugs en honderden vapes in kelderbox in Venserpolder 09.04.2026

Police in Amsterdam's Venserpolder district discovered a loaded firearm, various drugs, and hundreds of vapes in a basement storage unit on Bernard Shawsingel on Monday, March 6. The discovery prompted the closure of the unit for three months by Mayor Halsema, who cited concerns about serious public order disturbances and the unit's involvement in criminal activities. This action follows a previous incident where a suspect was found with an imitation firearm in another storage unit. While the associated residence was cleared of contraband and remains open, the confiscated items from the basement unit will be removed.
