Boy injured on spiked booby trap meant to stop motocross riders

A boy was injured in the foot when he stepped on sharpened iron spikes in the forest on Buntweg in Zeeland, a neighborhood officer announced on Facebook. The police believe that the spikes were meant as a booby trap for motocross riders. The police officer warns that there be more of these traps along the forest path. "We understand that the nuisance caused by motocross riders is very annoying, but this is not the way to solve it", the officer writes.
