Around 1 oclock a fire broke out in one of the homes at Diederikhof in Waalwijk. The responding fire brigade found explosive materials inside the apartment. It was suspected that the two persons present were tinkering with these materials. Therefore, they were arrested by the police. One of these men (both 24 years old) is the resident. As a precaution, residents from all surrounding apartments were evacuated. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service of the Defense (EODD) also arrived to further investigate and safely remove the explosive materials. Around 11:30, this service finished their work and all residents were able to return home. The apartment in question has been sealed, and forensic investigators will continue the investigation later. The arrested men are suspected of arson.
