What are the immediate consequences of the sharp rise in arrests of young Dutch drug retrievers in the Port of Antwerp?

In the first five months of 2024, 140 drug retrievers were arrested in the Port of Antwerp, exceeding the total for all of 2023. Half were Dutch, including 20 minors, the youngest being 13. These young people, often recruited through social media, face significantly harsher penalties in Belgium than in the Netherlands.",A2=""The increase in arrests is attributed to both risk diversification by criminal organizations (smaller drug shipments requiring more retrievers) and enhanced port security in Antwerp. Conversely, arrests in Rotterdam are declining. The significantly higher sentences in Belgium (40 months average for adults) compared to the Netherlands deter Belgian gangs from using young people for retrieval, but not the Dutch gangs.",A3=""The vulnerability of young Dutch retrievers, lured by promises of money or material goods, highlights a significant flaw in the strategy of Dutch criminal organizations. The contrast between lenient Dutch penalties and severe Belgian ones creates a dangerous asymmetry, placing young people at considerable risk. The ongoing strategy of using young, disposable people will likely increase enforcement efforts in the port of Antwerp.
