A series of shootings and explosions in Mijdrecht have been linked to earlier violent events from 2025, forming a complex pattern of targeted attacks around properties connected to one family, according to police investigations.
Recent weekend shootings damaged a hair salon and several other locations including a lunchroom, an upstairs apartment, and a house on Borsaliastraat.

While official records do not yet confirm a direct link between all these sites and the family name, the timing and nature of the attacks suggest coordination.
The family involved was previously connected to an international drug investigation last year.
Properties linked to them have been targeted before, including a butcher shop that was turned into a restaurant and later exploded, a residence damaged by an explosive device, and a business investigated by police in mid-2025.
Timeline of Incidents
Police timeline of key incidents includes a business investigation on June 11, 2025, a damaging explosion at a restaurant three days later, and a bombing at a family-linked residence.
In November 2025, a man on a scooter shot at a lunchroom and adjacent apartment, footage of which police released in early 2026.
On July 26, 2026, residents awoke to gunfire at a home on Borsaliastraat, leading to a police street closure and a call for witnesses.
