The police fired warning shots and arrested several people on the A27 highway near Bilthoven on Tuesday morning. The situation developed after the van led authorities on a chase from the De Pijp neighborhood in Amsterdam. Police had only released limited information about the incident by the early afternoon.
At around 9 a.m., the police sent a notification on Burgernet asking Amsterdam residents to be on the lookout for a white delivery van due to a suspicious situation in De Pijp. The van was spotted on the A27 a short time later, and the police gave chase, according to AT5.
