For the last few years many students, bus drivers and other persons have been complaining about youngster/students, who during the end of the moth of October when Halloween is celebrated, become victims of egg throwing. The throwing of eggs can destroy your clothing; it can be very dangerous and hazardous to your health. The police department and the public prosecutors office have contacted mainly the secondary schools to inform them of the campaign they have started to prevent and suppress this type of irresponsible behavior. Anyone caught throwing eggs will be arrested and taken to the police station and go through the normal procedures. Those persons could get a fine ranging from 150, – and up to 500, – guilders. Next to that, all damages caused as a result of the throwing of eggs, will also have to be covered by the suspect. Schools were advised to inform their students about this ongoing campaign and parents are hereby urged to have a very serious talk with their kids regarding this very serious issue.
