Mechanic forced to fix car at gunpoint

On Thursday morning the police arrested a 27 year old resident of Calaislaan in Eindoven for threatening a mechanic with a firearm or similar object. The suspect enlisted the help of a company, which then sent the mechanic to his home. When the mechanic got to the house at about 09:00 a.m., the suspect forced him to work at gunpoint. The mechanic managed to call the police when he had to walk to his car to pick up material. When the mechanic left the house again a little later, to get something out of his car, the police arrested the suspect in his house.
