Prosecutor Says Arrested Midden‑Nederland Officer Released but Still a Suspect

An update from the Public Prosecution Service clarifies the officer's status as a suspect unconnected to his police duties.

Overview

  • The Openbaar Ministerie confirmed the officer arrested about 2½ weeks ago is no longer in custody but remains a suspect and the allegation is said to be unrelated to his work.
  • A two-vehicle crash in Overvecht injured one person and required a trauma helicopter to assist at the scene.
  • Two cars collided on Herenweg in Vinkeveen causing heavy front-end damage to both vehicles and scattering parts across the road.
  • A car burned out in an industrial area of Lunteren, firefighters used special tools to secure a torn fuel tank, and red graffiti reading 'UHHEE!' was found nearby as police investigate.
  • Emergency teams also responded to a reported house explosion in Arnhem that is under investigation and to a strong thinner smell in Wageningen that was traced to a resident cleaning stairs with solvent, who was advised to ventilate the home.
