According to a police spokesperson, this is "another incident" in this coffesshop on Gasthuisring. The Brabants Dagblad had previously reported that several attempts had been made to set fire to the shop. As a result, the mayor decided to temporarily close the business several times. On Wednesday, another firebomb was thrown at the coffeeshop. After consulting with the municipality, the owner decided to keep the business closed for two weeks.

According to Omroep Brabant, the coffee shop has already been the target of seven attacks in the last two years, including firebombs, grenades and Molotov cocktails.
