Mayor Dijksma sends a letter to the parents of rioters in Overvecht

Unrest in Overvecht after chase officers pelted and bus shelters

In recent days, officers have arrested four young people (two minors and two adults). It has been restless around the Overvecht shopping center for three evenings. Large groups of young people turned against the police and boas; pelted them with eggs and lighters, among other things. Heavy fireworks were set off, a city bus was pelted, a fire was set and bus shelters were destroyed. “This situation calls for firm limits on unacceptable misconduct,” Dijksma warns.
