Transport robbery in Turnhout foiled thanks to emergency 112 number

Wim Dekeyser, insurance expert specialising in cargo theft, was informed of the incident by a transporter. “The truck was driving on the E34 in the direction of Venlo. Near the Q8 station in Turnhout, a white car with blue flashing light and red stripe drove in front of the truck. The driver was urged to stop in the car park. He did not trust the matter and ignored the order. He also had the reflex to call the police emergency number. He was then told that no police patrol was driving nearby at that time. So he kept driving and the suspicious car stopped following him,” the ‘loss ajuster’ customer said.
