On Friday, January 17, 2025, at 6:55 AM, we received a report that an attempt was made to set fire to a café on Ginnekenstraat using a molotov cocktail. Fortunately, no fire broke out. We are looking for witnesses who saw anything suspicious between 6:30 and 7:30 AM. Surveillance footage of the suspect(s) is also welcome.
Second Attempt
On Sunday, January 19, 2025, at 7:20 AM, another report came in from the same café. There was again an attempt to set fire with a molotov cocktail. This attempt also failed. A description of the suspect was circulated, and shortly after, an 18-year-old man from Breda was arrested. His involvement is under investigation.
