Police fired warning shots during an operation on Prins Hendriksweg in Vlissingen on Thursday 12 November. The suspects ran off, and police are now looking for them.
The shots were fired during a chase across a building site in the town on Thursday afternoon. The suspects' car escaped through a construction fence. Police later found the car they believe was used in the getaway in Oost-Souburg. The occupants were no longer in it.
Police previously said they had searched several locations in connection with an investigation into possible arms trafficking. That investigation is still in full swing. Police are not commenting on the specific locations, so as not to harm it.
Police are asking anyone who knows where the suspects are, or who has information that could help trace them, to get in touch. They can call 0900-8844. People who prefer to stay anonymous can report it to Meld Misdaad Anoniem on 0800-7000.
Police say even small clues can be of great value to the investigation.
