That Sunday, an explosive went off at a house on Kerklaan in Kortenhoef, after which the suspect fled. Shortly after the explosion, a report came in to the colleagues about a vehicle that had crashed on Bachlaan in Hilversum. This turned out to be the suspects car. The suspect then continued his escape attempt. Thanks to an observant citizen who saw the suspect running away from the crash and provided a good description of the suspect, the suspect was arrested. It concerns a 40-year-old man from the Municipality of Wijdemeren.
