The police arrested a 20-year-old man from Capelle aan den IJssel on Sunday, who was involved in an explosion in a house in Nootdorp. No one was injured, but the house was damaged, police reported.

The explosion occurred at Burgemeester Schölvinckplein on Saturday night. According to police, the suspect drove away after the explosion. The man was later detained on the highway, and his car was seized.
