Because the suspect was seen with a firearm, a BTGP was executed. This stands for a dangerous suspect approach technique that officers use when approaching a suspect who poses a firearm threat. The suspect fled, and the police subsequently warned him multiple times, after which the police fired shots. Emergency services attempted to resuscitate the 15-year-old boy from Gouda, but unfortunately, it was to no avail. The suspect died at the scene. A firearm was found at the scene of this incident. Whether it is a real firearm will be determined by investigation.

Following the investigation into the robbery at the Wisselspoor, the police arrested two more suspects, a 15-year-old boy from Rotterdam and a 15-year-old boy from Gouda. They are still in custody.
