Police found an explosive during a stop of a brommer in Veenendaal, and a 23-year-old man was taken into custody. Officers noticed the brommer on the Jan Steenlaan for its striking riding behaviour and decided to check the rider. During the control, at around 22.30, they discovered an explosive device. The Explosions Ordnance Disposal Service (EOD) from the Ministry of Defence was called in. Experts arrived on site and removed the explosive. The device was taken to a safe location and handled in a controlled manner until it was detonated, a police spokesperson for Midden-Nederland said. It is not yet known why the man had the explosive with him, and police are investigating the circumstances of the find. The man remains arrested as the investigation continues.
