Police reportedly intervened in Puttershoek in the Hoeksche Waard on Tuesday night after a group of young people moved through the village and set off fireworks, causing nuisance. A large police presence was needed to bring the group under control.

The village was restless again on Friday night. Police searched dozens of people preventively and arrested two of them after the earlier incident involving heavy fireworks. The centre of Puttershoek has been designated a security risk area.
