The fireworks bomb was placed next to a house on the ground floor of the apartment complex in the Grote Kerk. A black soot stain can be seen on the spot where the bomb went off. At the time of the explosion, the residents were not at home.
Shocked local residents
Although no fire broke out, the residents were shocked by the incident. Several residents tell NH that they heard a loud bang.
“My bedroom window is on the side where the bomb is placed,” says a resident of the fifth floor. “When I heard the bang, I immediately went to look. I saw a huge cloud of smoke, but no perpetrators run away. “
Another local resident, who speaks to NH at the entrance of the complex, points to the print that the explosion has left on the facade. “There is still dust here. I don’t know exactly what happened, but I’m glad it didn’t escalate any further. “
The residents grab in the dark about the motif. In addition to the explosion site, a new household would have been withdrawn in the house.
Police looking for a suspect
The police have started an investigation and have a suspect in the picture, according to a spokesperson. This person is said to have explored the neighborhood prior to the explosive. Whether it is a targeted action has not yet been confirmed.
An explosive scout from the police notes that all explosives have gone off, but that the gasoline lesson remained intact. It is now being investigated.
The police have released a description of the suspect. It is a long, slender man, dressed in black training pants, winter coat, balaclava and shoes. He was wearing a black sports backpack with a Nike logo.
Witnesses are called upon to report. The police are also looking for camera images that were made between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. The suspect would probably have walked from the Gerritsland in the direction of the Grote Kerk.
