The Telegraph reported:
“The bucolic setting of Overasselt, eastern Netherlands, was plunged into chaos on Tuesday morning after 32 hooded men, armed with pistols and machine guns, arrived in a convoy of unmarked vans.
Along a road next to a gated estate, the group piled out of their vehicles. Before Berry Leenders, a 51-year-old security guard, had time to react, he had been shot dead. He was guarding the home of Jan G Jr, a 28-year-old convicted drug dealer allegedly responsible for stealing an estimated £160m [$210 Million] worth of cocaine from a rival.
