The police in Sint-Michielsgestel, Boxtel and Vught receive reports of fireworks nuisance every day. “So hard that pets no longer dare to go outside and the windows shake from the impact,” the police said on social media. Inspections are therefore carried out in the neighborhood in a conspicuous and inconspicuous manner. This was also the case last Friday in Boxtel.
There on the Tolpad, officers heard the explosion of heavy fireworks. They also saw a burning trash can flying through the air. Two suspects were arrested when they tried to escape in a car. One of them, the co-driver, admitted to having lit a nitrate, according to the officers. He received a report and the costs for the destroyed trash can are recovered from him.
The driver of the car received a report for driving his car on the cycle path. The police found dozens of fireworks in the car. This has been seized and will be destroyed. “Continue to report fireworks nuisance via 0900-8844 or 112 if the situation is threatening,” the police urge.
