A police spokesman says the number of burglaries in Nuenen is indeed striking. However, he also says that December is a popular month for burglars to strike anyway.
Extra checks
According to the police spokesperson, it is not clear what the reason for the high number of burglaries in Nuenen is and whether, for example, a specific gang is behind the burglaries. This is being investigated by the police. For now, the police say they are carrying out extra checks and surveillance in the village.
There are no indications that the perpetrators are after specific items, such as expensive cars, for example, according to the spokesperson.
The police are asking people who saw anything striking in Jacob Catsstraat between 6pm and 7pm on Sunday to report it. They are also looking for camera footage from that area. The perpetrators might have been caught on camera.
