A tense standoff erupted at a house in Overasselt when dozens of armed officers stormed the property at 4 AM, resulting in the death of a 51-year-old guard and two cops wounded. The mayor swiftly shut down the site for a year and issued a two-week ban on one resident—a 28-year-old with a history of drug trafficking—while also ordering surveillance cameras. This isn’t the first time the location has been closed: it’s been shut down before in 2020 after a drug lab explosion, again in 2024 and 2025 for suspicious activity including gunfire. Authorities have arrested 35 suspects tied to the latest incident. With the property sealed and police urging residents to report anything unusual, the mayor’s mission is clear: restore safety—even if it’s a long road back.
