Teenagers put girl on phone | Interior

The police have meanwhile arrested five suspects from Stadskanaal, Hoogezand and Groningen and seized knives. In this case too, the suspects are very young. Teenagers from 14 to 19 years old have been arrested. “It concerns two women of 19 years old, both from Stadskanaal, and three boys of 14, 14 and 17 years”, the police said on Friday.

In the neighborhood it is assumed that the robbery was carried out by two young people, while a small group stood around it. A witness heard noise in Berkenstraat and quickly took to the streets. ,, This is scaring. I really don’t want to say too much about it, out of respect for the girl. But we helped her until the emergency services and the police were there. She has been assisted in the ambulance. “

The victim was allegedly stabbed in the back and the wound was partially stitched on site before she went to the hospital with the ambulance. ,, Of course that normally never happens here. There is youth here in the park, for example, and that does give waste and such. But that is something else than this! “

Uninhibited

René Steensma lives in the street where things went wrong. “Yes, this happens on the same street as where you live,” he shudders. ,, I also have a daughter, who cycles here regularly. Do these people know what they are doing to someone else? They take the victim more than just her phone, if that was it. She can never again cycle through the street uninhibited here. “

Melanie Jansen, who lives a few houses away, was also shocked. ,, I only live here for a short time. It’s a nice neighborhood … And then this. I also have a small child who must also be able to take to the streets. “

Pepper spray

It is certainly not quiet in the park where the incident took place. Many people let the dog out all day long. Similarly a Stadskanaalster with two sturdy dogs. ,, Unfortunately they don’t help if they should. They don’t do anything. I only have pepper spray in my pocket, and I’ll grab it when it comes down to it. “

The police have already spoken with witnesses, but also call on witnesses to report to the police in the Northern Netherlands.
