Graving Pizza Leads to Arrest of Dangerous Criminal

Rick Halman is one of Holland’s most dangerous criminals, accused of brutally murdering Sven Westendorp, hardcore Ajax fan, owner of Ticket Unlimited and graffiti artist. He is also suspected of having murdered 24-jarige Bilal el H. in October last year.

After murdering Westendorp, Halman went into hiding. During a raid at one of his hideouts, police found weapons, more than 13,000 XTC pills, almost three kilo of amphetamines, and 30,000 euro. He became one of the most wanted criminals, considered to be armed and extremely dangerous.

The police had a house in Hilversum under surveillance where they expected Halman to hide out. The boys in blue observed delivery of food and dinks, but also noticed that nobody left the house.

In good “The Closer”-style, police saw a man entering the house last Friday at 1am with a pizza. The visitor left shortly after without the pizza box. Police quickly concluded that there must be another individual on the premises and raided the place. They found Halman lying on a mattress in a closed room with covered windows. He did not resist arrest.

No details about the pizza toppings was released.
