In the Kruisstraat in Eindhoven there was a big manhunt on several men on Tuesday evening. They would have been seen with a firearm. Two men have been arrested.

The police received a report on Tuesday evening about an ‘incident’ with a firearm. Agents went to investigate and wanted to check a car at the pastor Petersstraat, but several suspects fled. It would be at least three men.

The police soon managed to keep a suspect. Another man ran into the Kruisstraat and quickly got out of sight. The police therefore started a manhunt. The suspects were sought with a police helicopter, tracking dog and the Special Interventions (DSI) service.
