Police arrest two men with machetes in HEMA The Hague - NieuwRechts.nl

The police in The Hague arrested two men this week who were walking through the city centre with machetes. The duo was spotted by security cameras when they entered the HEMA on the Grote Marktstraat. The images led to a quick police action.

"I am really a bit upset about this and I don't think it is normal," says Koos van Geest, chairman of BIZ City Center The Hague, the business association of shops in the city center. He is responding to the arrest of two teenagers with a machete on March 15 in the city center.
