Dutch police have found enough raw materials to make more than one billion ecstasy pills in a truck close to the Belgium border on Thursday.

The truck reportedly contained 100 bottles of hydrogen gas, 15 tons of caustic soda and 3,000 litres of other chemicals.

The haul was estimated to be worth €100,000 (£85,000), and would have been worth substantially more if in pill form.

Police tweeted an image of the truck in question, along with details of the find.
