At around half past seven on Sunday morning, the police found an explosive at Professor Fockema Andreaelaan. The suspect was shortly thereafter found and arrested in the vicinity. The Explosive Reconnaissance Team (TEV) arrived on site, after which the EOD neutralized the object. The area was cordoned off for some time, and the fire department and ambulance were present as a precaution.
The location of the explosive at Professor Fockema Andreaelaan appears to have been random, according to preliminary investigations. In Baarn, there have been several explosions at residences in recent months. Todays incident may be related to those and is being included in the ongoing investigation.
