HUGE DRUG GANG
DOCTOR AND CHEMISTS ARRESTED POLICE MAKE COUP LONDON, December 20. The Geneva correspondent of the “Daily Mail” states that with the arrest at Zurich and Basle of 24 men and women, including a doctor and two chemists, the police are believed to have unmasked a gang of drug traffickers who are operating all over Europe. After a report from -the Egyptian police that vast quantities of drugs were reaching Egypt from Basie, the police arrested a German chemist. A search of his laboratory revealed that the manufacture of heroin and cocaine derivatives was being conducted on a huge scale. The drugs were exported camouflaged as colouring matter. Arrests have also been made in Germany, France, Italy and Egypt.
