The man was arrested early this morning in a residence in Amsterdam. He is suspected of involvement in an explosion at a delicatessen store on Plantage Kerklaan. Although this case is not part of the Pizzabakkers chain, the attack on this store has been included in the investigation because the police suspect a connection with the other explosions. The investigation is ongoing, and further arrests are not excluded.
Previous arrests
The investigation team previously arrested a 14-year-old suspect on September 3 and a 17-year-old suspect on November 18 of this year.

Explosions
Amsterdam experiences many incidents involving explosive devices. This is concerning because the danger to entrepreneurs, residents, passersby, and emergency responders at the scene is naturally high. Heavy illegal fireworks, jerrycans with flammable liquids, or homemade explosives do not belong in public spaces where people work and live, and they cause life-threatening situations. This must stop. The police are working hard to track down suspects involved in this form of excessive violence. This has already led to multiple arrests, convictions, and severe prison sentences. However, to find the perpetrators, the police need the help of neighborhood residents. After all, they know their neighborhood best. If something seems out of place in the street scene, they notice it first. Providing information to the police is therefore crucial.
