That evening, the police received a report that a driver might be under the influence. A police vehicle with three officers was driving on the Waterlinie when they turned around to search for the suspect driver elsewhere in Weesp.
After they turned, they followed a delivery van that had nothing to do with the report, which suddenly came to a stop in the shoulder. The police vehicle slowed down, and then a lot happened at once. While the delivery van slowly reversed and rammed the police vehicle with the three officers inside, the occupant of the van took off like a hare. He did this by jumping into the adjacent cold water.
The police immediately began a large search for this occupant. A helicopter also searched for some time from the air. Fire department divers were also present. The occupant has not been found, but the police still want to apprehend this person. The delivery van turns out to be stolen and has been seized. The involved officers were unharmed. They have filed a report.
Witnesses sought
In the investigation into the still-fugitive driver of the stolen delivery van, the assistance of witnesses is very valuable. Since the suspect jumped into the water, he was easily recognizable that evening due to his wet clothing. If anyone in Weesp saw a man with wet clothing or possibly has camera footage, the detectives would like to hear that. This can be done via the tip form below or by calling 0900-8844.
