Armed fugitive from Gozée: suspect vanishes without trace
A man suspected of having barricaded himself for several hours in his home in Gozée, in Hainaut, actually left the premises before the intervention of law enforcement, according to Google News BE FR based on multiple Belgian media outlets including dhnet.be, RTL Info and Le Soir.
The authorities had deployed a significant police operation in the village, including special forces units and a helicopter. A nearby school was also evacuated as a precautionary measure, according to Sudinfo.
The individual was reported to be barricaded alone in his home with weapons. For many hours, law enforcement maintained a security perimeter around the residence, with the street closed to traffic.
It was at the end of this operation that investigators established that the suspect had left the home before the siege even began. The man has since been actively sought, according to 7sur7.be and RTL Info.
No information about the suspect's identity or the reasons for the intervention has been communicated immediately by the competent authorities.
