Mayor Femke Halsema has ordered the closure of a residence on Jan Cupidohof in the Slotermeer district of Amsterdam for three months following a recent explosion and weapons discovery. The incident began on October 13 when an explosion at the building's central front door left one individual injured by flying glass. Following an anonymous tip, police conducted a search of the property on October 15.
During the search, authorities discovered a loaded firearm, ammunition, and several nitrous oxide cylinders inside the home. Neighbors expressed significant fear regarding their safety after the blast, leading officials to conclude there is a real risk of further violence. The closure of the property is intended to restore public order and allow investigators sufficient time to continue their search for the suspects involved in the incident without the risk of future disturbances at the location.
