Dutch police conducted a huge law enforcement operation near a barn at the Belgian border on Monday afternoon, revealed Dutch media, adding that two people had been arrested. Police went to Susteren, a village 30 kilometres north of Maastricht (south-east), following a “suspicious fire” in a barn near the A2 motorway, said the Dutch news agency ANP.
A bomb disposal team was on site at the request of the police force, pointed out a Dutch military spokesperson to ANP, while giving no further details. Local television videos show over ten police vehicles and a helicopter were there as well.
The A2 was closed both ways. The bomb disposal team also used a robot to inspect a car found on the A2 hard shoulder. One of the suspects arrested was stripped before being led away in a police vehicle, according to ANP.
