A 49-year-old man from Heesch and a 39-year-old man from Sint-Oedenrode were arrested at their homes on suspicion of a large number of vehicle thefts. Police searched their homes and two premises in Elsendorp and Landhorst.

Officers seized a large amount of cash, several vehicles including a forklift and a shovel, and several licence plates that may be false. The investigation is ongoing. One report said the man from Sint-Oedenrode had previously been arrested over the theft of a loader in Dongen and a van in Elsendorp; those vehicles were returned to their owners.
