Overview
- Early Thursday police responded to a vehicle ramraid on Ginnekenstraat in Breda that drove the jeweller’s façade out and scattered heavy debris across the street.
- Officers found two cars at the scene and arrested two men, aged 20 and 35, who have no fixed address and were initially pursued when one tried to flee.
- A police officer and a police dog entered the damaged shop and became trapped by the unstable façade before firefighters freed them from the building.
- Investigators have interviewed neighbours, are searching for nearby camera footage, and say they do not rule out involvement of additional suspects.
- The shop has been targeted before, including a similar ramraid last September, and builders were working Thursday morning to secure the damaged storefront.
