Hand grenade and bullet impact discovered at a building on Stratumsedijk

Around 9.20 am the police received a report that there was a possible explosive in front of the closed roller shutter of the coffee shop. As a precaution and safety, the area was cordoned off and the surrounding buildings evacuated. In addition to an Explosives Safety Team Leader from the police, the Defense Explosives Disposal Service arrived on site to conduct an investigation. They determined that it was a real hand grenade. The hand grenade has been seized for further investigation. The police in Eindhoven have started an investigation. The placing of the hand grenade and the shooting of the coffee shop may have taken place between 00:30 and 9:20 on the night of Thursday to Friday.
