# 15-Year-Old Arrested at Antwerp Harbor Fruit Wharf: 42 Kilos of Cocaine Seized **Antwerp, Belgium** - On Tuesday, August 23rd, a joint operation between Belgian customs and the federal police led to the arrest of a 15-year-old boy at the fruit wharf in the port of Antwerp. The boy was found to be in possession of 42 kilos of cocaine, with an estimated street value of 1.4 million euros. According to a statement from the Antwerp Public Prosecutor's Office, the boy was arrested after customs officers noticed suspicious activity at the fruit wharf. The officers approached the boy and found him with a large bag containing the cocaine. The boy was immediately arrested and taken into custody for questioning. The Public Prosecutor's Office has not released any further details about the case, including the boy's name or the intended destination of the cocaine. However, the arrest is a significant development in the fight against drug trafficking in Belgium. The port of Antwerp is one of the largest in Europe and is a major hub for the import and export of goods. In recent years, the port has been increasingly used by drug traffickers to smuggle drugs into Europe. The arrest of the 15-year-old boy is a reminder of the dangers of drug trafficking and the importance of law enforcement efforts to combat this problem.
