Boys (13, 14 and 15) from Zeeburg riot group arrested for assault and street robbery
Three teenagers have been arrested for multiple violent crimes and street robberies in Amsterdam after their earlier involvement in neighborhood disturbances escalated. The group, which had been under monitoring by police and social services, was recently caught during a brutal assault near Amsterdam Centraal station.
Three boys aged 13, 14, and 15 have been arrested in connection with a string of violent incidents and street robberies in the Amsterdam area. Initially identified by police in early 2026 for causing noise disturbances in Oost-Zeeburg, the group escalated to more serious criminal activities despite interventions from social services, probation officers, and local authorities. Although some members were previously detained in May for public violence and robbery, they violated behavioral orders by continuing to associate and commit further offenses.
The situation culminated on August 27, when the suspects were caught red-handed by police while severely assaulting a man near Amsterdam Centraal station. Following this violent attack, authorities arrested the trio, with two of the boys now facing allegations of attempted manslaughter. Currently, five separate police teams are investigating the group for their involvement in a series of criminal acts across the city, as their persistent disruptive behavior continues to be a major point of concern for law enforcement.
