Trouw24 September · 21:5558 min ago

The Mobile Unit intervened during an asylum center protest in the Gelderland village of Kesteren after fireworks were set off, arresting several individuals. The incident occurred around 21:00 when a crowd gathered at Nedereindsestraat began launching fireworks, including heavier explosions, prompting authorities to act. A reporter observed projectiles being thrown toward police officers. Following a police charge around 21:15, demonstrators fled the area. By 21:30, the square was clear, though police continued patrolling and reported multiple arrests for possessing or setting off fireworks. This event follows riots in the neighboring village of Opheusden one week earlier, which resulted in fourteen arrests.
