crime and delinquency

‘Pedo hunter’ Eren G. must appear in court again, this time because he revealed the identity of an alleged pedophile from Woudrichem online. The man demands 25,000 euros from G. for defamation. But the 32-year-old Utrecht can count on a lot of support. A fundraising campaign has been started online, which has so far raised more than 5,000 euros.

Eren G. confronted the man from Woudrichem on July 23 last year. After being tipped off by children that the man would like to have a sex appointment with minors, G. arranged to meet him himself. He filmed the encounter and posted the footage on his YouTube channel. The man was recognizable in the picture and has since been threatened.

Hero status
The victim has sued Eren G. for defamation and is demanding damages of 25,000 euros. G. must appear before the police judge on October 17. One of G.’s YouTube followers then started a fundraising campaign. “Surely it cannot be the case that the privacy of a pedophile outweighs the safety of our children?” this is the explanation for the promotion.

5,055 euros have now been raised. G. is seen as a hero by many people. ‘You are awesome! You do what others do not dare but what is necessary, unfortunately,” someone wrote anonymously. And another writes: ‘You would only get a 25,000 euro fine for protecting children. I find it incredibly crazy.’

Second fundraiser
Two years ago, Eren G. also had to appear in court after he threatened an alleged pedophile from Oss. He drove to the man’s house and entered his house with a lot of aggression. He streamed the conversation that followed live on Facebook. The judge then sentenced G. to one hundred hours of community service. A fundraising campaign for G. was also started at the time. That campaign earned him more than 1,500 euros.

Two residents of a house on Evenestraat in Maarheeze were robbed at the beginning of the evening on Monday. They had put something up for sale via a sales site, but the sale did not go as planned. The police report this.

The pair were threatened with a firearm. The two perpetrators eventually made off with the loot. According to a police spokesperson, no one was injured during the robbery.

The couple did not immediately call the police after the robbery, but went to family to tell them what had happened. The police were therefore only called later. “We therefore did not have a manhunt for the perpetrators, because they had fled for some time.”

The police in Maarheeze are talking to local residents and witnesses. She is looking for camera images from the neighborhood.

According to a 112 correspondent on the scene, it was a mobile phone that was for sale. The police cannot say what the residents had for sale on the sales site.
