Another explosion at Kortenberg home: three suspects on the run
Less than a week after a previous explosion, another blast has occurred at a property in Brouwerijstraat in Kortenberg. This is reported by nieuwsblad.be. Police received the call at approximately 21.10 hours.
"A letterbox, a window and a parked car were damaged," says Natalie De Keyzer of the local police force HerKo. The exact nature of the explosive remains unclear. The public prosecutor's office is investigating whether it is an incendiary device or another type of explosive.
Residents saw on camera footage three people running away after the blast. "The suspects fled. Police are currently carrying out a neighbourhood investigation and reviewing camera footage. The forensic laboratory and the bomb disposal service DOVO will attend the scene for further investigation," said Ellen Durie of the Leuven public prosecutor's office. A possible connection with last week's incidents is also being investigated.
A family with children has lived on the first floor of the affected building for four years. They were not at home at the time of the explosion. The ground floor is used as a space by the adjacent bakery.
