TV shows faces of Project X Haren riot suspects

Seven youths accused of involvement in last month’s Project X Haren riots have been identified after photographs of the violence were shown on a television crime show on Tuesday evening.


Photographs of 18 men and one woman were shown live in an effort by the police to identify more troublemakers. In total, 50 faces are displayed on the website of the show Opsporing Gezocht, which asks the public to help solve crimes.
Prior to last night’s programme, 58 people had been arrested in connection with violence and looting.
The riots in the wealthy northern commuter town took place on September 21 after a Facebook announcement went viral.
