24-year-old man from Meppel arrested in investigation into threats and illegal weapon possession

Area: Meppel

On the night of January 12 to 13, the police searched a house on Pieter de Hoochstraat in Meppel. This was following a report of threats and suspicion of illegal weapons in the house. This led to the arrest of a 24-year-old man from Meppel.

After the initial search, the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) arrived on the scene. The EOD discovered various suspicious explosives and safely removed them from the residence. They were seized for investigation and will be destroyed. Additionally, weapons, suspected drugs, counterfeit money, and fireworks were also seized.

The examining magistrate has placed the suspect in custody today but has also suspended it. This means the suspect may await his trial under conditions, such as probation supervision and a contact ban.
