Potential weapons seized at courts
Court officials seized over 27,000 objects which could have been used as offensive weapons and other banned items from visitors to the Netherlands’ 25 courts last year, the AD reports.
The items included pen knives, nail files and screwdrivers. Dutch courts have been fitted with scanners and security gates since 2005.
