Once again, Mayor Frank Dales van Velsen sees no other option than closing a home in his municipality. He came to this decision after a piece of fireworks containing flammable liquid was detonated in front of a porch house on the Vierkante Bos in IJmuiden. It is the umpteenth closure in a short time.
This time things went wrong during the night from Sunday to Monday. A piece of fireworks containing a flammable liquid was detonated in front of a house at the Vierkante Bos in IJmuiden. Reason for the police to immediately start an investigation.
They informed the mayor that it was not inconceivable that something like this could happen again in the short term, which is why Dales closed the house for at least two weeks. “I want to do everything within my power to prevent this. The presence of the resident in the home poses a danger to his own safety and that of the environment,” the mayor said in a letter to the city council. “By temporarily closing the home, the chance of recurrence is limited.”
More closures
Dales also recently closed Marbella Lounge Club on Kennemerstraat and homes on Warmenhovenstraat and De Noostraat. In addition, he wanted to gain more control over the feeling of insecurity in his municipality by means of additional camera surveillance in the center.
It has been restless in IJmuiden for a long time. There would be rival drug gangs. The number of violent crimes is also increasing.
