A beautiful ode to René Karst during the City Light Festival in Hoogeveen and images of arson in Assen by police made public. This is an overview of the most important news from last week in Drenthe.
On Monday, Arriva started extra checks at the station in Emmen. Trains to and from Emmen involve a lot of illegal driving, which is why the carrier will be conducting checks over the next four weeks when passengers board. No valid ticket means no access to the train.
The wolf that has attacked a sheep farmer in Lheebroek four times in recent weeks has been labeled a ‘problem wolf’ by the province of Drenthe. These attacks took place behind an approved, wolf-resistant grid. The province is working on a culling permit and wants to ‘remove the wolf from the population’.
In the TV program Opsporing Verzocht, attention was paid to the series of (car) fires in Assen in recent weeks. The police showed two fragments here, which clearly showed that cars were doused with a liquid and then set on fire. The police have not arrested anyone so far.
A new card game was launched this week in Eext. And this is not just any card game, it contains a hundred different triggers. The proud tractor owners received the first copies on Thursday.
Last weekend Hoogeveen was lit up during the City Light Festival. As always, this produced beautiful images. The tribute to Hoogeveen singer René Karst, who died suddenly a few weeks ago, was special.
