Four More Teens Convicted Over Scheveningen Riots, Given Community Service

Authorities say 18 suspects have now faced juvenile court, with community service the prevailing outcome.

Overview

  • A Rotterdam 15-year-old was sentenced Monday to 50 hours for throwing stones at a police vehicle.
  • Three others—a 16-year-old from Zoetermeer, a 15-year-old from The Hague, and a 14-year-old girl from The Hague—were convicted of public violence against police.
  • Those three received community service orders of 50, 36, and 30 hours, with conduct including throwing terrace furniture from an ice cream shop.
  • The Public Prosecution Service reports 19 youths arrested, 18 brought to court, two acquitted, and the remainder given community service.
  • The cases stem from the May 1 unrest near the Kurhaus in Scheveningen, where hundreds of youths hurled stones, bicycles, and glassware at the police mobile unit.
