Packages containing explosive substances were found in a garage on Nazarethlaan in Eindhoven on Wednesday evening. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service (EOD) detonates the packages in a safe location. Residents of surrounding houses were asked to remain on the ground floor.
It concerns blocks of explosives that were already completely prepared with wires and detonators. These types of explosives would be used in explosives cracking.
The owner of the garage box discovered the explosives himself. He was supposed to be cleaning out the garage when he saw bags he didn’t know about. The owner did not trust it and called the police.
Part of the street has been cordoned off. Specialists from the EOD were investigating protective bomb suits and will ensure that the packages are detonated elsewhere. The police continue with the investigation.
