At around 4:00 PM, officers observed a moped that they wanted to check. They stopped on Bimmelsweg for this check, which ultimately turned out to be in order.

During this check, their attention was drawn to three other scooters. They also received a stop signal and complied. The officer was standing by one of the drivers when he wanted to check their drivers license. However, the driver suddenly accelerated and seemed to want to flee. The officer grabbed the driver, and as the driver drove away, he was dragged for several meters. They came to a stop against a nearby fence with barbed wire. The driver, a 19-year-old from the municipality of Borsele, was arrested. He also received a fine for driving without a valid drivers license, ignoring a closed declaration, and operating a motor vehicle that may have had modifications that complicated the recognition of the license plate. The investigation into the fleeing during a check and the injury of the police officer is still ongoing.
