Two tbs’ers fled from the tbs clinic of the Pompe Foundation in Nijmegen on Tuesday between 8.30 pm and 9 pm. They have had outside help, a spokesperson for the foundation said on Wednesday. Unknown persons have made a hole in the fences around the forensic psychiatric clinic with equipment. The TBS officers then got into a car and disappeared.
Immediately after the escape, employees of the clinic warned the Public Prosecution Service (OM) and the police.
The police immediately started a search for the escaped men, but they had not been found by Wednesday morning. A spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service (OM) says that a search is underway “with man and power”. Several police teams are involved. The Public Prosecution Service does not want to disclose what the search looks like.
