Dutch police arrests suspect burglary on Russian building in The Hague

The Dutch police has arrested a 43-year repeat offender on suspicion of a burglary at a house managed by the Russian embassy in The Hague last week, the police said on Thursday. Last Thursday, the property near the Russian embassy was broke into and some personal belongings went lost. The building was used as a house for embassy staff. The police are investigating whether the suspect was responsible for other burglaries in the area. He has been arrested for similar offenses in the past. Ties between the Netherlands and Russia have been tense over the seizure of Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise that was sailing under the Dutch flag by Russia. It now holds 30 crews of the ship, including two Dutch nationals. Three weeks ago, Russian diplomat Dmitry Borodin was taken from his home by police after complaints from neighbors about him abusing his children. A Dutch diplomat in Moscow was assaulted at his home later on.
