Burglars break in to Dutch prison to steal televisions from inmates
Burglars broke in to a Dutch prison to steal televisions from inmates' rooms.
Twice in the past six weeks, burglars broke into a minimum-security prison and stole televisions from cells while prisoners were on weekend furlough, a spokesman for the justice ministry said on Wednesday.
The prison, in the town of Hoorn 26 miles north-east of Amsterdam, is for inmates near the end of their sentences.
The facility is what the Dutch government calls a "very modestly protected environment", where prisoners transition back into society. They are typically allowed weekend leave.
The thefts happened on two separate weekends about a month apart in March and April. The ministry spokesman said it has still not been able to confirm how the burglars gained access.
A spokesman for the public prosecutor's office in the region confirmed only that a break-in at the prison had been reported to police and added that no arrests had yet been made.
What a bloody diabolical liberty!
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
