PVV candidate's home attacked during TV interview

A stone was thrown through the window of Brabant PVV candidate Jake Owen Raats' home in Etten-Leur yesterday while he was giving an interview. PowNed reporter Tom Staal and a cameraman were interviewing Raats for the program Studio PowNed. They were talking in the kitchen when the stone came through the window. Raats' home has been the victim of attacks for two weeks. The police have deployed extra patrols around the house, but no one has been arrested yet.
