Heeze-Leende Municipality Continues Camera Surveillance on Strijperstraat
The municipality of Heeze-Leende is taking over camera surveillance on Strijperstraat from the police and will continue it for at least the next six months. The reason for this is the tense situation that has arisen in the area over the past period following multiple attacks on a residence on the street.
The incidents have had a significant impact on the immediate surroundings. In response, the mayor previously implemented various measures, including the temporary closure of the affected residence. Several legal proceedings were initiated regarding this closure in 2025. The court ultimately ruled that the closure was justified. However, the residence has since been reopened following earlier judicial rulings. Since then, the municipality, neighborhood, and security partners have been working on normalization and de-escalation. At present, there is a tense calm in the street.
Temporary Camera Surveillance Remains Necessary
Following the earlier incidents, the police temporarily deployed camera surveillance under Article 3 of the Police Act to monitor safety in the area and prevent new disturbances. The police are now ending this deployment. Given that continued vigilance is required, the mayor has decided to take over the camera surveillance under Article 151c of the Municipalities Act.
The cameras will continue to focus on preventing new incidents and ensuring the safety of residents and those involved over the next six months. The police, Public Prosecution Service, and municipality consider this continuation necessary to enable rapid and adequate action when needed.
Follow-up Process
The municipality will continue to closely monitor the situation on Strijperstraat and maintain intensive contact with residents and security partners. If new developments arise, the area will be informed again.
