Two men committed a failed attack on coffee shop Caza on the Gasthuisring in Tilburg on Thursday evening just before midnight. They threw a fireworks bomb and a jerry can at the coffee shop, but no explosion followed, the police reported. The police are still looking for the perpetrators. It is the fourth time in two years that something like this has happened at the shop.
A security guard who was supervising the coffee shop from his car saw two men approaching from Burgemeester Brokxlaan. He saw one of them take a jerry can out of his bag and throw it against the wall of the coffee shop. The other also grabbed something and seemed to light it.
The perpetrators then ran away. The manager of the shop went after the perpetrators, but was unable to catch them. The jerry can and a package of fireworks tied together lay on the sidewalk. One of the men wore a black jacket, the other a gray one. Both men had hoods over their heads.
