The police received signals about a group of young people throwing eggs from a moving car at cyclists. Due to the high speed, it is difficult to track down the car and its occupants. Today, a 22-year-old suspect from Zierikzee was arrested in an ongoing investigation; he is also suspected of being involved in the egg throwing.
Reporting Helps!
The police received several reports over the course of a year. After media attention, it turned out that more people had become victims, who reported to us after a long time. We encourage people to report such incidents to us immediately. When a lot of time passes, it becomes more difficult to speak to witnesses or gather footage that can assist our investigation. Do you have footage showing clear suspects? We would love to receive that.
Criminal Record
Although throwing eggs may seem innocent and even funny, it can be life-threatening. Due to the high speed of the car, as well as the shock response, a victim can become seriously injured. Furthermore, throwing eggs also results in a criminal record. Think twice before doing something like this and only use eggs in the kitchen.
