Following the devastating explosion at Tarwekamp in The Hague on Saturday morning, the police investigation is still in full swing — with several pieces of new information just revealed. 👇
The police already arrested three suspects yesterday (December 10). Now, a possible target for the explosion and information about two runaway cars are known.
Bridal store at the centre of it
Based on evidence revealed in the ongoing police investigation, the explosion might have been aimed at a bridal store on the ground floor of the building, reports RTL Nieuws.
The store specialises in the sale and rental of party dresses, but the company also offers care to young people with developmental and behavioural problems.
While no one from the store was injured or harmed, the explosion left six dead and four injured.
The victims include three members of the same family (leaving an 8-year-old orphaned), and three adult men.
On the lookout for two cars
Police are also looking for any leads on two cars that may have been involved in the explosion — a blue Toyota Yaris and a champagne-coloured Kia Ceed.
Dutch police have reason to believe that one of the cars fled the scene of the explosion at high speed, and footage also reveals a suspected car speeding towards Amsterdam on Saturday morning.
The police hope that witnesses who can share information about the store and cars will come forward.
