According to Omroep West, the police investigation is now mainly focused on finding the perpetrators. A car was seized in the Kerkpolder nature reserve on Saturday night, but the police cannot say whether this had anything to do with the kidnapping. 'If that is the case, we will of course include that in the investigation,' the police told the regional broadcast.
