Overview
- In Lisse, officers arrested two occupants of a car on Patrijsstraat and evacuated the street after finding an item that appeared to be an explosive, a day after a separate apartment blast in the town with no known link yet.
- Police are investigating late-night explosions that caused property damage in Dordrecht’s Daltonstraat and in Schiedam’s Diepenbrockstraat, where heavy fireworks are suspected and no arrests have been made.
- An 18-year-old man from Ridderkerk was detained on suspicion of harassing and assaulting women in Ridderkerk in recent weeks and is also a suspect in a series of summer attacks on women in Rotterdam-IJsselmonde.
- Two suspects aged 16 and 17 were arrested after a shooting at Schiedam’s Spaland shopping center in which no one was hurt as detectives work to establish what happened.
- Courts advanced related cases as a 42-year-old man received 30 months for a drug-related home explosion in Meppel and the trial over a fatal shooting in Leiden moved toward a 2 December verdict after prosecutors rejected a self-defence claim.
