A 17-year-old boy from Geldrop has been arrested because of several fires in nature reserves in the vicinity of Heeze, Geldrop and Son. Those fires were last summer when it was extremely dry. Thanks to the quick action of the fire brigade, the damage was not too bad.
In the De Groote Heide nature reserve between Geldrop, Waalre and Heeze, there were several wildfires between 5 and 15 July. On July 15, there were five fires within 250 feet along a dirt track.
It was then noticed that the same boy was always quickly present to make images of the fire. And this was also apparent from the images on his phone.
The boy also had a lighter with him. Justice will see if the boy will be prosecuted.
