A confused man may have left an explosive in a Dutch primary school this morning. Local residents must leave their homes in Oisterwijk to be on the safe side, our colleagues at the AD know. Children and teachers are safe outside, a police spokesperson said. The police are currently searching the building.
The police were called around 8 a.m. when the man walked into the school on Willem de Zwijgerlaan and started using threatening language. Two primary schools are located in the building: De Coppele and SBO Mozaik. It is not clear exactly which school the confused man entered. The police are looking for a man around 30 years old, he may be armed.
The police assume that the man is no longer present at the school. Officers therefore search outside the building, a police helicopter circles above Oisterwijk.
