Baarn Ends Temporary CCTV After Explosions as Regional Police Detain Protesters and Uncover Major Crimes

Officials say the blast inquiries continue after a joint review found extra surveillance unnecessary.

Overview

  • Baarn removed temporary cameras from several streets after consultation with the Public Prosecution Service and police, with monitoring of the area to continue and the explosion probe still active.
  • Police detained 29 people after activists from the ‘Fok Fokker’ group occupied Fokker’s Papendrecht headquarters to protest the production and export of F‑35 parts.
  • DNA tracing from a firearm found in Rotterdam led officers to a The Hague residence where ten converted gas‑alarm pistols were seized and a 20‑year‑old suspect was arrested.
  • Customs and prosecutors reported a late‑October seizure in the Port of Rotterdam of 583 kilograms of cocaine and 3 kilograms of crystal meth hidden inside a large steel machine, part of 783 kilograms intercepted that week.
  • Two suspects were arrested in late October over a January home robbery in Utrecht’s Overvecht neighborhood, adding to a third arrest made in April.
