The explosion with 6 victims in The Hague, the Dutch police arrest 3 people

Dutch police have arrested three people after an explosion that killed six people and injured four others at an apartment complex in The Hague, police said on Tuesday.

A criminal investigation has been launched into the cause of Saturday's explosion, which caused the collapse of an apartment building and destroyed several neighboring buildings in a residential area in a suburb of The Hague.

Police said the three people arrested late Monday were connected to the blast, but did not provide further details.

After the explosion, several cars were confiscated. Witnesses said they saw him speeding away from the scene shortly before the explosion.

Rescuers called off their search for victims on Monday afternoon, hours after a sixth body was found in the wreckage.

Gas network company Stedin told Dutch news agency ANP on Tuesday that there were no indications that the explosion was caused by a gas leak. The police ruled out the possibility that there was a drug laboratory in one of the buildings.
