Man held in drive-by rabbit killing

A 50-year old man from Dorst was arrested for illegally killing a rabbit. During the arrest, the police discovered an air rifle and a dead rabbit in the back of the suspect's vehicle. Police received the call that a man was firing shots from inside his car at the business park Hoogeind in Breda. Officers in diverse vehicles went in search of the man. They discovered the car described, and signaled the driver to pull over on the A27. Because the suspect was armed, police pulled out their own weapons as a precaution, while ordering the man to step out of the vehicle. The man did so, and was cuffed and booked. This is when police discovered an air rifle and the dead rabbit.
