Winschoten – An explosion took place at a business premises on Langestraat in Winschoten on Saturday, September 16 around 7:20 am. Fortunately, no one was injured.

The investigation is still ongoing. Camera images can tell us something about how possible suspects got to Langestraat and how they left. Do you live or work near the Langestraat and do you possibly have camera images (dashcam, doorbell camera, mobile phone) from around the incident? Then we would like to ask you to share those images with us. The smallest details can be important to us.
