Armed robbery
On Thursday, May 1, 2025, at the end of the afternoon, the robbery took place at the department store on Nieuweweg in Laren. Two individuals threatened the staff with a knife and took money from the cash register. After the robbery, they fled on a fat bike.

Extensive investigation
The police conducted an extensive investigation into the armed robbery. Since it was suspected that the suspects were minors, the youth officer was involved in the investigation, and the images of the two were blurred and shown on social media and in the investigation program Bureau Noord-Holland. This led to several tips and reports via Meld Misdaad Anoniem.
