Young people with machetes arrested in Amsterdam | Inland

The police were patrolling when they saw a group of young people who were probably waiting for the bus. Heavy bangers were set off next to the group.

In an attempt to find out if there were any more fireworks, a check was carried out. A firearm was found on the ground. It turned out to be a toy gun.

During the check, two boys were both found with a machete (longer than 50 cm) in their waistband. One of them also had a plastic toy gun in a backpack.

‘Too retarded for words’

In a message on their website, the police wrote: “It is too ridiculous for words that people have such machetes with them, especially when you are 13 or 14 years old.” In addition, the police write, it is not possible to see from a distance whether it is a real or fake weapon.

The fact that it is not possible to see what kind of gun it is at such a moment has all kinds of consequences: ‘Regardless of age, those (officers, ed.) Will seriously take into account that it is a real firearm and will draw their service pistol and this focus on you. You shouldn’t think about what could happen then. ”
