The police in Etten-Leur warns about a threatening letter that several people in a neighborhood of Etten-Leur have received. The letter states that their house is being watched. Residents are called on to hang a Russian flag instead of the Ukrainian flag. If they don’t do that, they have to pay.
The writers of the letter state that many Ukrainians live on the Markenland and that many Ukrainian flags have been hung. “Every 1st of the month we will observe this neighborhood.” If there is no Russian flag, the consequences will be dire, the letter writers say. Those who do not want to hang a Russian flag can also transfer a monthly amount. According to the letter writers, the proceeds will be used to ‘unify Russia’.
The police suspect that it is a form of fraud. She calls for certainly not to transfer money. The police are also looking for images from surveillance cameras.
Suspicious situations can also be reported to the police.
