Utrecht – On Thursday, February 23, 2023, the police carried out another integral check in and around the Utrecht station area with various partners. With this action, they together contribute to a safer and more pleasant station area. During the inspection, 13 arrests were made and 138 fines were issued. This time, traffic issues around the station area were also checked.

A large number of the fines have been issued for, among other things, fare-dodging, consuming alcohol, not being able to identify oneself, the Aliens Act and traffic violations such as mobile phone calls. During the check, three suspects were arrested for public violence. Two arrests were also made for shoplifting and one for pickpocketing. In addition, two persons were checked who appeared to be involved in a criminal case.

Cooperation

This check is part of a monthly series and is a collaboration between the police, Supervision and Enforcement of the municipality of Utrecht, the boas of the transport companies Qbuzz, Keolis and Syntus, the boas of the NS and the security companies Trigion and MAAT. During the campaign, all participating partners work from their own domain, task, assignment and powers and through the long-term collaboration they complement each other better and better.

Station area

Thousands and thousands of people find their way in the station area every day. Commuters, passers-by, office workers, tourists and day trippers, shoppers. However, the appeal of this area also has a dark side: the area is also attractive to people with less good intentions, which affects the quality of life in this area. Due to its central location, nuisance offenders sometimes gather here, whether or not in groups. There may be drug nuisance, but also shoplifting and pickpockets.
