Found an explosion at a shop on the Bijlmerplein

Part of the Bijlmerplein was cordoned off this morning because a possible explosive device was found. There is a lot of police and forensic investigation on the spot. According to a witness it would be a hand grenade. The explosive would have been stuck to a shutter of a shop.

Around a quarter to five, the police received a report from ‘an observant colleague’ about a possible explosive device.

The police say that an explosive has indeed been found and that the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service Defense (EOD) is on site to render the explosive harmless. They are still about an hour, say the police.

Hand grenade

A local resident has sent photos of the explosive, which appears to be a hand grenade. The police cannot confirm this.
