In total, the police subjected nearly a hundred individuals to clothing searches on Friday and Saturday. During these searches, two knuckle dusters, a knife, a can of pepper spray, and heavy fireworks were seized. Additionally, a firearm was found and confiscated during a search of a residence.

All suspects were fined, and some will receive an administrative measure (which can be a ban on entering certain areas or a penalty payment). The suspect with the firearm, a minor resident of Purmerend, was detained at the police station on Friday and will be brought before the examining magistrate.
