Police request special cooperation in obtaining images in investigation of the death of Gino† The police are urgently looking for dashcam images and images from other fixed camera positions that have a view of the public road and that were taken between June 1, 2022 at 18:50 pm and 19:30 pm. The police are asking motorists, bus drivers and others for images showing a blue Volkswagen of the Lupo type. If you have images between the times mentioned and on the indicated route and places, it is urgent to share these images with the police.

This specifically concerns images from June 1, 2022 from 18 pm, the surroundings of the Zonstraat/Hertogenlaan Kerkrade (the place where Gino was last seen), the surroundings of the parking lot of the swimming pool de Bende (the place where a step was found), images in the vicinity of the “Landgraaf” district in Geleen and public roads between these locations. It is important to take a good look at whether a blue Volkswagen Lupo can be seen in the relevant images.

Citizens can share images with the police via www.politie.nl/upload† If viewing, saving or sending the images is not possible for whatever reason, you can contact 0900-8844 for support, so that police officers can assist.
