Dutch Police Arrest Three Over Oosterhout Triple‑Killing Vehicle as Raids Net Fireworks and Drugs

Investigators are widening the March 28 triple‑homicide case with fresh suspects tied to the getaway car.

Overview

  • Officers detained a 19‑year‑old from Zoetermeer and two men aged 18 and 24 from Amsterdam on suspicion of supplying the car used in the March 28 Oosterhout shootings; the vehicle was stolen on March 24 in Zoetermeer and later found in Teteringen.
  • Three Swedish suspects arrested in June over the shootings remain in custody, with the next preliminary court session scheduled for December 22, according to prior proceedings.
  • RET dismissed a night‑bus driver after he took a 12‑meter bus into a narrow Schiedam street, struck bollards and parked cars, leaked diesel along the route, and continued driving in violation of procedures.
  • A FIOD‑led search in Tolbert seized 31 kilograms of professional fireworks, and police in Houten discovered several kilos of suspected hard drugs in an empty home; no arrests were reported as both investigations continue.
  • Rijkswaterstaat reopened the A28 near Assen after a truck overturned and scattered sugar beets across both directions, and police said a large Harderwijk greenhouse fire is being treated as suspected arson.
