Dutch police seized weapons from minors at record levels in 2025, confiscating knives, firearms and strong fireworks 2,300 times throughout the year, according to DutchNews.
The sharp increase marks a significant jump in juvenile possession of dangerous items. Police did not specify the breakdown between types of weapons or geographic distribution across the Netherlands.
The seizures underscore growing concerns about youth access to weapons and explosives in the country, prompting questions about enforcement strategies and prevention measures.
