The police are talking about ‘very large knives’. The incident happened last Sunday.
The police tracked down the boys during a surveillance. The officers saw a group of young people who were probably waiting for the bus. Heavy bangers were set off next to the group and the young people immediately got into the arrived bus.
To find out if the boys had any more fireworks with them, they were checked. First, a firearm was found on the ground, a plastic toy gun. After that, two boys were found to have a machete longer than 50 centimeters in their waistband.
‘Too ridiculous for words’
According to the police, it is “too ridiculous for words” for people to carry such knives, especially when you are 13 or 14 years old. Moreover, it is not possible to see from the outside whether someone is carrying a real or a fake firearm.
“If you have to deal with the police, the officers, regardless of age, will seriously consider that it is a real firearm,” the police wrote. “They will draw their service pistol and aim it at you. Don’t think about what could happen. ‘
