Benelux-France Joint Drug Operation Checks 3,000+ Vehicles, 89 Trains

Police and customs from Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and France conducted a week-long joint operation ('Operation Etoile') targeting cross-border drug trafficking, inspecting over 3,000 vehicles and 89 trains in Belgium alone. The operation found evidence of drug possession in nearly all checks, indicating widespread trafficking activity. This is a routine enforcement action, not a major shift in policy or threat level.
