Wikimedia commons Police, the city, and the housing association were involved in an eviction Tuesday, on a caravan site in Venlo Noord. The court had ruled an illegal camper had to be removed. The police was present during the operation, which was uneventful and without obstruction. Because Woonwenz manages the sites and the rents, the police suspect the group holds the housing association accountable. The case is under investigation. More arrest may follow, according to the police.
