On New Year’s Eve, a group of 40 individuals, mainly Dutch according to HLN information, had fun planting pyrotechnic bombs in the street in Essen.
In the video published by our colleagues, we can see the young people drop the bomb in the middle of a crossroads to light it and then run off. The images are impressive. You can see the large explosion caused by the explosion of the bomb. “We take it very seriously,” responded the mayor Gaston Van Tichelt. “The police have been there and we also have camera footage. The first results show that a lot of young Dutch people are involved. This naturally adds an additional dimension to the different laws in Belgium and the Netherlands, but let’s be clear, what happened there is no longer fireworks. This is purely criminal and potentially fatal behavior, ”he said.
The bourgmestre affirmed that an investigation was underway and that they would obviously not stop there.
A similar event to this had also occurred in Flanders, more precisely in Hoogstraten, where a group of unconscious young people fired fireworks horizontally in the middle of the street!
