On Sunday, November 3 last year, an explosive device was thrown into a house on the Golf run-up in Urk. No one was injured by the explosion. The fireworks bomb did cause enormous damage to the home. Doors had been removed, an intermediate wall was blown away and cracks appeared in load-bearing walls.

Illegal fireworks

According to an expert from the police, it was fortunate that father, mother and the two children, aged 9 and 7, had the bedroom doors closed, otherwise there might have been deaths. Police believe the perpetrators were mistaken in the house and that the attack was actually against a couple who had reported to police a day earlier that there were potentially illegal fireworks in boxes in a car.

After a number of preliminary hearings, the court in Lelystad will deal with the substance of the case on Friday. The 28-year-old man from Urk was arrested in December, the 24-year-old suspect from Espel was arrested in February, after the police had released his name and photo and he did not report.
