The municipality of Kapelle-op-den-Bos is filing a complaint after an incident where a childcare bus was followed by a car, prompting a police intervention.

During the journey, the driver and escorts noticed that their bus was being followed for an extended period by a passenger car. Due to the situation being perceived as suspicious and the presence of children on board, the police were immediately contacted. At the request of the emergency services, the bus was temporarily pulled over to the side pending police intervention.
