On Monday, May 19, around 8:00 PM, the police received a report that someone was walking with cables on a construction site. An unusual time, as no work is being done on the site at that moment. Because the reporter clearly describes what the man looks like, officers quickly have him in sight. It is also reported what kind of cables the man is carrying. The man is arrested on the spot. The 50-year-old man from Haarlem is suspected of attempting to steal various items that belong on the construction site. The investigation is ongoing.

Cables and Construction Materials
