Overnight, there was another explosion at the home of the frequently targeted plumber Ron van Uffelen on Gretha Hofstralaan in Vlaardingen. No one was hurt in the blast, which happened at around 1:30 a.m., and the damage is limited, Rijnmond reports.The police cordoned off the area around the house and are investigating. Two suspects were seen fleeing the scene, but no one has been arrested yet.
Ron van Uffelen, the Vlaardingen plumber who has been the target of explosive attacks for a year, won’t move away from Vlaardingen, he said in a first interview with Rijnmond. He and his family are devastated by the attacks. But leaving would only move the problem from one place to another, he said. He added that he has no idea why he is being targeted.
