“We received a report of an armed man who got out of a car with a German number plate and was wearing a helmet,” said spokesman Thomas Detavernier of the Vlas police zone (Kortrijk, Kuurne Lendelede). “Because we didn’t immediately know what to expect, we went there with a large amount of manpower.” The residents of Walle were also not allowed to leave their homes for a while. Two people were released in handcuffs. In the end, it turned out that very little was going on. “It turned out to be an airsoft weapon”, explains Thomas Detavernier. “No one was arrested.”
