News item 112: drunk driver causes accident • robbed after appointment

A 35-year-old man from Goirle who offered an iPhone for sale on Marktplaats was attacked and robbed by an 18-year-old man from the same place. The seller had made an appointment with the young man. The 18-year-old threatened the seller with a knife and fled with the iPhone.

The stolen phone was eventually found in the robber’s house in the evening. It is being investigated whether the suspect is also behind an attempted robbery of a café on the Dieze in Goirle. In early October, a loudly yelling man came in and asked for money, but finally left with no loot.
