Arrest of bar owner for selling laughing gas

On 17 August during an inspection of the premises, nitrous oxide was seized as also were the balloons used to inhale it at a price of five euros per shot. Despite this, the police were aware that laughing gas was still being made available. A second inspection was made on 1 September. More nitrous oxide and balloons were confiscated, and yesterday the proprietor was put under arrest.

The gas had apparently been bought via a website based in the Netherlands.
