Antwerp (Eurotoday) In Antwerp’s Kielpark, police noticed two young people acting suspiciously. They later saw two others with a bag of fireworks. A father and his 15-year-old son were arrested for selling fireworks illegally and could face fines.
A police patrol in Antwerp noticed two young people acting suspiciously in Kielpark. The pair was hiding behind a wall and watching the area closely. When approached by officers, they claimed they were just playing and meant no harm. Since there was no clear evidence of wrongdoing, the police decided to leave but stayed alert to the unusual behaviour they had observed.
Why were a father and son arrested for selling fireworks in Antwerp?
Police officers noticed two more individuals arriving in the same area, raising their suspicions further. They quietly observed as the original youngsters briefly interacted with the newcomers before quickly separating, seemingly trying to avoid being seen together. This behaviour deepened the officers’ concerns, leading them to believe the group might be involved in something that needed closer attention. Determined to understand the situation, the officers continued their discreet investigation.
Two newcomers were seen with a big plastic bag full of fireworks, which they planned to sell to some kids at the wall through social media. The police arrested a father and his 15-year-old son and searched their home, finding even more boxes of fireworks. They took all the fireworks away. The father and son were held for a short time but have been released. They could face a large fine for selling fireworks illegally.
