Police raided a home in Eindhoven-Noord on Monday 9 November after an extensive investigation by the criminal investigation department.[1][2] The home was on Van Thienenlaan in Eindhoven.[3] Two suspects were arrested.[1][2] The announcement came three days after the raid, on Thursday 12 November.[1] The force did not release the suspects’ identities or the precise location of the home.[1]

During the search officers found several 3D-printed firearms and objects that resemble firearms, along with two 3D printers.[1] Officers found five firearms, six boksbeugels and two 3D printers in the home.[2] Drugs were also found, but police did not say which kind or how much.[1][2] The weapons, objects and printers were seized for further investigation.[1]

3D printers can make parts that strongly resemble real firearms, and police said working firearms could in some cases even be manufactured with them.[1] Police said some of the weapons found only looked like real firearms, while others could actually fire.[4] Police are still investigating exactly what was found and whether the weapons can fire.[4] Police gave no further information about the two suspects.[4]
