Verdachte op heterdaad betrapt tijdens woninginbraak

In a dramatic turn of events, a suspected burglar was caught red-handed by a homeowner in the Latour district on Thursday, November 13, 2025. The suspect, identified as V.R. (41), attempted to break into a residence while the homeowner, S.T. (42), was cooking. Hearing unusual noises resembling someone forcing open a window, S.T. immediately investigated the source. Upon checking, he discovered a man using a broomstick to push aside a curtain. Armed with a sharp object, S.T. confronted the intruder and managed to disarm him after a fierce struggle. The suspect, however, retaliated by attempting to strike S.T. with the weapon. S.T. successfully regained control, delivering several blows to the intruder before calling the police. Both the homeowner and the suspect were taken to the police station for further investigation. Following coordination with the Public Prosecutor’s Office, V.R. was placed in custody.
