At around 00:50 on Sunday, April 13, the police received a report of shots fired at a house on Wielewaalstraat. Witnesses then see a scooter speeding away. Upon arrival, officers find several bullet holes in the front door of the house. There are also various shell casings on the ground.
Shortly after the shooting incident, around 1:15 AM, a passerby sees a hand grenade lying in front of a house on Kwartelstraat a few streets away. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) has taken it for further investigation. Fortunately, no one was injured in either incident.
An investigation has been launched into the two incidents and a possible connection between them. The police are looking for people who have more information or camera footage.
