On that Wednesday afternoon, an attempt was made to rob the woman under threat of a knife. Nothing was taken, but the 65-year-old woman from Vlaardingen was presumably injured with a knife. Investigation led to the 13-year-old boy from Vlaardingen. His role is under investigation.
Various media reported in recent days about a possible connection between the failed street robbery and the deadly stabbing incident on Sunday, February 23. This is a scenario that the police are investigating.
In the investigation into the street robbery, the arrested suspect is also a minor. This means that the police and the Public Prosecution Service are cautious in providing further information.
