The 15-year-old boy who was shot by the police on Sunday in Capelle aan den IJssel carried a “functioning firearm in the form of a converted gas alarm gun”. That reports the Public Prosecution Service (At) Wednesday. The police shot on Sunday on the armed boy who was flee after he had robbed someone from a fatbike. He would have been warned by the police several times before the shooting was made.
According to the OM, he did not act alone at the robbery. Two other suspects of the armed robbery, both also fifteen years old, were brought before the examining magistrate on Wednesday and were stuck in custody for two weeks longer. It is a boy from Rotterdam, who was arrested on Sunday, and a boy from Gouda, who reported to the police station on Sunday evening.
“The police assume that other people have been involved in the robbery,” the OM writes. “We don’t exclude more arrests.” With the robbery, according to the OM, a firearm on the head is aimed at the fifteen-year-old Fatbike owner. “He was also kicked and beaten,” said the OM.
