Another explosion at the Zeeburgerdijk home

Around 12:45 am, local residents were startled by a loud bang. As a result of the explosion, a small fire broke out in the house that was quickly brought under control. Because the residents were not home at the time of the explosion, no one was injured. As a precaution, the police cordoned off the area around the house. Experts from the Forensic Investigation carried out trace investigations at the building. Unfortunately, an extensive search of the area did not result in any arrests.

Explosions also took place in front of the same building on Saturday February 17 and Sunday March 17. The investigation team is investigating and looking for a possible connection between the various incidents. The police are calling on people who know or have seen something that could help in the investigation to come forward. So share your information with the police and make the neighborhood safer. This can be done via the options below and also anonymously.

Explosions

Amsterdam again has many incidents involving explosive objects this year. This is worrying, because the danger to entrepreneurs, local residents, passers-by and emergency services on site is obviously great. Heavy illegal fireworks, jerry cans with flammable liquid or homemade explosives do not belong in public spaces – where people are busy working and living – and create life-threatening situations. That has to stop. The police are working hard to track down suspects involved in this form of excessive violence. This has already led to several arrests, convictions and significant prison sentences. But to track down the perpetrators, the police desperately need local residents. After all, they know their neighborhood best. Even if something is not right in the street scene, they notice it first. Passing on information to the police is therefore crucial.

Reporting helps

Do you see suspicious situations? Then report it! If you find it scary or exciting to report, you can always do so anonymously or confidentially. Then use Report Crime Anonymously or the Criminal Intelligence Team. This is a department that is trained in shielding tipsters and informants. They are trained to obtain information in an unobtrusive manner and to protect the informant at all times.
