VDL Nedcar security arrested another occupier in the Sterrebos near Born on Wednesday evening.
The woman had briefly come down from her tree house because she had to pee, and was grabbed once on the ground by the collar by security, said a spokeswoman for the action group Red Het Sterrebos. The woman was handed over to the police and arrested. She is in jail, the spokeswoman said.

Two more environmentalists
As a result of this arrest around 10:15 pm Wednesday evening, there are only two occupiers left in the forest. One occupier shared a self-built hut in an old oak in the Sterrebos with the unfortunate woman, and is now left alone in the tree house. The other occupier lies in a hammock covered with plastic sheeting at the edge of the forest along the Rijksweg Susteren-Sittard.
Not the first time
The spokeswoman spoke of a “downer”. According to her, a woman had already been arrested by security in the same way. This woman also came down to relieve herself and was promptly arrested. “We will meet on Thursday to see how to proceed,” the spokeswoman said.
A police spokesperson could not be reached on Wednesday evening.
