Police intervened in Amersfoort hostage situation, blackmailers threatened to ‘blow his head off’

Zegvelder suspected of child abuse and making animal pornography court

Amersfoort – A hostage situation appears to have been taking place in the Amersfoort home on the Trekvogelweg where officers wearing bullet-proof vests stormed in at the beginning of this year. It concerns four suspects who tied up a man with tie-wraps and extorted him at gunpoint. The police intervened after a tip about the threatening situation in the house. Two of the four suspects appeared in court for the first time on Tuesday, the other two will follow in August.
