At around 2:00 PM, a report was received about a person with unexplained behavior in a house on Brouwerijstraat. As a precaution, part of the street was closed off. Multiple units and disciplines arrived for assistance and safety. This included the Special Intervention Service (DSI), police negotiators, and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Defense (EOD). The fire department and ambulance were also present.

Various disciplines will remain in and around the house for further investigation for some time.

Due Diligence
We understand that there are questions about why the arrest of the man took some time. Due diligence takes precedence over speed. The safety of the man himself, the residents of the neighborhood, and the responders has always been the top priority.

Report Timely
The total number of nuisance reports to the police involving individuals with unexplained behavior has increased in recent years. This leads to personal suffering and societal nuisance in our community. It calls for a comprehensive, person-centered approach that aligns with the living environment of this group.

Society must be able to trust that the police are professionally committed to individuals with unexplained behavior, and they do. To ensure this, the police ensure that their staff are well-informed and instructed. As the police, we urge everyone to report incidents involving individuals with unexplained behavior in a timely manner.
