At around 9:00 PM, we received a report from someone who had witnessed a street robbery in the Purmerbos. The attentive reporter provided us with the necessary information, allowing us to spot the suspects with the police helicopter. Responding officers were able to arrest the 17- and 18-year-old men from Purmerend. With the help of a police dog, we were able to recover the knife.

The victim was treated for his injury after the incident. We are grateful for the prompt actions of the reporter who witnessed the incident. That helped us to arrest the suspects immediately.
