That night, the police received a report from a witness who had seen a man breaking into an apartment building along Doorniksestraat. When patrols arrived on the scene, there was no trace of the burglar. A drone was released into the air to track the man. Through the thermal images, the police were eventually able to see that the man had hidden in nearby bushes. This way the man could be handcuffed.
It concerns an adult man, who is not unknown to the police and the judiciary. He will have to appear before the judge through the summary procedure.
