The vacant building in Waalwijk had previously been targeted for vandalism and was on the demolition list. Investigations indicated that it was likely arson.
In the episode of Bureau Brabant on January 20, 2025, footage of the suspects was shown. Since they were likely minors, the footage was made unrecognizable, giving them two weeks to report. The four boys from Waalwijk turned themselves in and were arrested. They are now being questioned.
