The fire brigade is on site at the Waterloolaan in Stad for a leak in a home. The water seeped into the street through several floors, according to a spokesperson for the fire service. It is not yet known how the leak started. It is known that a fire raged in the house in question in 2018.

“He can be recognized by a large build, jeans, black polo with white accents, probably no shoes, possibly in possession of a sleeping bag,” the police said.
