Everyone being held hostage in a town in central Netherlands is now free and a suspect is in custody, Dutch police said Saturday, after an ordeal that lasted several hours. "The last hostage has just been released. One person has been arrested. We cannot share more information at this time," announced police on X, formerly Twitter. Police in central Netherlands reported that on March 30, several individuals were taken hostage in a town, prompting evacuations of nearby residences and the closure of the town centre. Authorities earlier stated that, at present, there is no indication of a "terrorist motive" behind the incident in Ede.
