On Monday morning, the police arrested two men aged 20 and 19 from Emmen in connection with an explosion that took place on October 29 last year at the Stienackers in Emmen. The two men are in custody and are being heard.
On October 29, a heavy piece of fireworks was detonated near a car. No one was injured.
On November 8, another explosion of very heavy fireworks took place on the Stienackers. This happened with the same vehicle as at the end of October. Here, too, very heavy fireworks may have been used. The vehicle was damaged beyond repair. In addition, on November 11, there was another explosion with heavy fireworks near a vehicle at the Meerveld in Emmen.
