At around 2:45 AM, a report was received at the Operational Center regarding a burglary at an eyewear store on Van Baerlestraat in Amsterdam South. Two men dressed entirely in dark clothing forced a window, vandalized showcases inside the store, and took various goods. The suspects then fled on a fat bike towards Stadionweg. Multiple police units were deployed and officers eventually managed to corner the suspects. One suspect was arrested, but the second suspect managed to escape and was last seen on Stadionweg near Schubertstraat. This suspect left without a jacket, and the detectives hope that there are possibly people who have camera footage of the area showing the suspect.
Officers found a bag containing goods in the vicinity that is very likely from the theft. The 18-year-old suspect who was arrested is from Lelystad and is currently still in custody.
If you saw anything, or have camera footage of the area around the eyewear store or Stadionweg, please inform the investigation team. Please mention the report number 2025072637.
