The helicopter flew over an industrial area in Waalwijk that morning. The pilot noticed that the signal on his radar was gone and that he could no longer see where he was flying. Later that afternoon, officers went to the warehouse in question, where they suspected the jammer was located. Upon entering, the officers indeed found two jammers. They also discovered several cars that were likely stolen. One of the cars had been stolen shortly before, from which important parts had already been removed, such as the engine and electronics. This often happens to sell the parts. The police seized a total of nine vehicles for further investigation. There was no one in the warehouse, so no arrests have been made yet. The municipality closed the building for four weeks after the police investigation.
