Camper in Boxmeer and K-otic reunion: this happened today

A camper of more than seven meters long is causing unrest in the Luneven district in Boxmeer. Neighbors complain that the vehicle affects the streetscape and reduces the quality of life. The owner is not violating any rules, but some local residents want the municipality to impose stricter requirements, such as a minimum distance to the public road. Check it out here.

Stefan de Roon (47) from Waalwijk feels 21 again due to the reunion of K-otic after 25 years. The pop group, which broke through at the beginning of this century through Starmaker, will be in TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht on June 11 and 12. For Stefan it feels like coming home: “It just makes sense again.” The first concert sold out within half an hour. Read his story here.

Sjef R. (45) from Lith has been sentenced to sixteen years in prison for his role in international drug trafficking. The court concluded that he had a managerial role within the organization that was involved in hard drug trafficking and money laundering for many years. R. is now in hiding in Dubai and was not present at the sentencing. Read the story here.

Suus from Altena saw her flower meadow being mowed by the municipality for the fifth time in a row, while that was not the intention. It is not the first mowing accident: in 2023, 1,300 young trees were destroyed in Cuijk and in Oss a breeding duck ended up in tatters in the grass. Check out the whole story here.

Finally: entrepreneur Koen Houwen from Son en Breugel is selling Dutch delicacies such as stroopwafels and bitterballen during the World Cup in Mexico City. The stand attracts many visitors, the stroopwafels in particular are a hit. The stand also features a cardboard image of Arjen Robben, which causes hilarity among Mexicans who are still angry about the 2014 penalty. Read the story here.
