Six arrests after a restless night in Katwijk, officers pelted with bottles and stones

In the center of Katwijk (ZH), the police arrested six people last night after disturbances. According to the police, about 100 to 200 young people caused tumult after midnight when the catering industry had to close at 00.00 due to the corona rules.

According to a police spokesperson, the atmosphere turned grim when the young people did not intend to go home, despite multiple calls to do so. According to the police, they blocked some roads in the center and threw objects at officers, such as stones, beer bottles and beer cans. An officer was hit, but he is back to work.

After about an hour and a half, the place was calm again. At least one of the detainees was bitten by a police dog. One of the juveniles arrested is also a minor.
