It concerns a man from Zonnebeke. He was interrogated by the police. He was interested in the copper he removed from the bombs and then sold. But that is dangerous and can lead to explosions. Dumped shells have been found in various places in the region.
Koen Meersseman, mayor of Zonnebeke: “Through anonymous tips, we have received information about a possible perpetrator who collects shells, removes the copper from them and then dumps them in canals. The police have done the necessary investigation and found out who exactly it is. They have also visited those people. We hope that this will stop the massive dumping that has been taking place in recent times.”
