The police carried out eight arrests in Roosendaal in the night from Wednesday to Thursday. Due to the emergency ordinance, which has been in force in a number of neighborhoods in the city since Tuesday evening, it has remained “relatively quiet”, according to the police.
The police were again fully present in the Noord-Brabant city on Wednesday evening and sent people away who had no good reason to enter the relevant neighborhoods. The police tried to prevent rioters from coming to the neighborhoods.
It concerns arrests for possession of hard drugs, failure to show identification and possession of weapons. Five people received an official report for violating the gathering ban.
It has been restless in Roosendaal for days. That is why Mayor Han of Mid Wednesday announced an emergency ordinance for the districts of Kalsdonk, Kroeven, Langdonk and Westrand. The emergency ordinance in the troubled neighborhoods applies until December 9.
Van Midden already introduced a ban on gathering together for the entire municipality on Tuesday. It is therefore not allowed to come together on the street with more than two people.
So far 24 arrests during disturbances in Arnhem district
It has also been restless in recent days in the Geitenkamp district of Arnhem. So far 24 arrests have been made during the disturbances, writes Gelderland broadcaster.
In the city council, the Arnhem mayor Ahmed Marcouch called the behavior of the rioters “unacceptable”. Although mainly young people cause nuisance in the neighborhood, there are also a few adults who throw fireworks, according to the mayor. “We’re really not going to accept this. We are very vigilant.”
Marcouch wants to recover the damage done from the perpetrators. In addition to police officers, extra enforcers in the form of youth workers have also been sent to the troubled neighborhood.
