It is just before 04:00 on Saturday, August 30, when a woman walks on Zilvermeeuwpad near the underpass of Gooiseweg. There, she becomes a victim of an attempted sexual offense. At that moment, two cyclists pass by. The passersby do not trust the situation and decide to cycle back. They manage to overpower the suspect. Shortly thereafter, he can be handed over to arriving officers.

The suspect has been transferred to a detention center. The investigation team has immediately started an investigation and is calling on witnesses to come forward. Did you see or hear anything around Zilvermeeuwpad last night? Or do you live in the area and possibly have relevant footage for us from, for example, a dashcam or a video doorbell? Please let our investigation team know directly via the tip form below. Or call 0900-8844 or anonymously via 0800-7000.
