About fifty football supporters were arrested on the Meerdaalboslaan in Heverlee on Saturday evening. Some of them had stolen items from a store. After that, the entire group behaved recalcitrantly. This was reported by the local police of Leuven, which provided assistance to the intervention, on Sunday.

On Saturday around 11.45 pm, the federal road police pulled over a bus with football supporters. The bus was derived from the E40. A few people would have stolen a number of items in a shop along a highway parking lot just before.
During the check, the passengers did not cooperate: they used pyrotechnic material, among other things. For that reason, the federal police requested assistance, including from the local police in Leuven. Because the supporters continued to misbehave over time, it was decided to arrest everyone administratively. All occupants were transferred to the detention center of the federal police in Etterbeek.
The whole case – including the shoplifting – is currently under further investigation. In the interest of the investigation, it is not released which football team the people were supporters, it is still said.
