This morning, officers arrested four minors in Amsterdam who were carrying firearms and machetes.
Police tracked them down when two of them smashed the window of a house on the Kerkstraat around 4.30am, possibly to break into the house.
A passerby alerted the police, after which the two headed towards Leidseplein and got into a taxi. Not long after, a police car crashed into the vehicle.
One of the suspects was arrested. The other attempted to flee, but was arrested after a short chase, AT5 reports. Both were carrying a firearm.
hotel room
The boys stayed in a hotel room in the city with two other minors. The officers entered the room with the boys, after which it was discovered that they had a machete with them.
All the suspects are from the Rotterdam area and are between 13 and 16 years old. It’s unclear how they were able to book a hotel room at that age.
