Nieuwegein – On Sunday, February 12, an attempt was made to commit a street robbery by two men on the Tuinkerspad in Nieuwegein. The suspects may have wanted to steal the victim’s electric bicycle. The police are looking for witnesses.
Around 3:50 pm, when the victim was on his way home on his electric bicycle, a scooter with two men on it drove in the opposite direction. After driving for about 50 meters, the scooter turned around and drove close to the victim’s bicycle.
A little further on, the co-driver of the scooter was standing on the verge next to the bike path. When the cyclist came closer, the co-driver forced him to stop. Then he reached into his inside pocket for something that looked like a firearm. The cyclist then continued on. A little further on, near the Anijsgaarde, the same scooter with the driver stood still on the walkway, the victim also drove past here.
The descriptions of the scooter riders are as follows:
