The neighbors of a convenience store were alerted by a loud bang, but luckily, no one was injured. The owner of the store, aged 46, had recently been released with an ankle bracelet after killing a burglar who was 36 years old in late February, according to HBVL. Mieke Eevers, a neighbor, said that at first, they thought something had happened to them, but her husband found nothing strange inside or outside their home. Later, he found a small fire at the door of the convenience store across the street. Although the door and window of the store were destroyed and the facade damaged, firefighters were able to control most of the damage. The store reopened the next day. An investigation will be carried out to determine the cause of the fire.
It was a loud bang that alerted the neighbors of the convenience store who, fortunately, did not cause any injuries.
According to HBVL, the 46-year-old convenience store owner was recently released with an ankle bracelet after he stabbed a 36-year-old burglar to death at his business in late February.
“At first we thought something had happened to us,” says neighbor Mieke Eevers. The facts took place around 3:30 in the morning. “My husband immediately went to look at the front and back of the house, but found nothing out of the ordinary. He then went to look in the street and saw that there was a small fire at the door of the supermarket opposite. »
The rapid intervention of the firefighters made it possible to largely limit the damage. The door and window of the convenience store are destroyed and the facade is also damaged. The convenience store reopened this morning.
An investigation should determine the causes of the fire.
The convenience store owner faces yet another setback following the recent stabbing incident that ended with the death of a burglar. The store, which had just reopened following the incident, was targeted by an arson attack that has left its door and window destroyed and facade damaged. Fortunately, no one was injured. The authorities are now investigating the cause of the fire. Despite this setback, the convenience store remains open for business.
