A confused woman set a mattress on fire on Saturday afternoon in her back garden in Budel. The entire street was full of black smoke. Agents who came to the Wieken reported were threatened by the woman with a large knife.
The police threatened with the use of a power surge weapon, with which the woman can be administered from a distance so that they can be overpowered. The woman went back into her house where she stayed with her two children.
Through a window, negotiators of the police have talked to the woman with the aim of getting her and her children out of the house. The negotiators managed to get the children so far that they threw down a number of knives and a large knife, so that the woman couldn’t do anything with it anymore. The children then came out.
Negotiators went inside, the police finally brought the woman out. She was fascinated for further interrogation. The incident attracted a lot of attention. The street was spacious.
