Coffeeshop owner kidnapped

Rivers - A few months ago became the owner of Coffeeshop Good Good already wounded when his case was fought and shot. Today there is another incident around this coffee shop on the corner of Churchill Avenue / Schipbeekstraat in the River area. The deal is off this afternoon with ribbons, and police detective and walks around the silent witnesses of the incident, fallen bicycles and tables, lying in the street. According to a police source spot we learned that "something with the owner." A gray Mercedes bus seems to be the scene of the accident shortly after having left and searched. Once we have more details, read it all right on the south.

Update 5:33 p.m. hours: The owner of the coffee shop has been kidnapped by several masked men shot 7 times and there is an anonymous oorgetuige. The gray bus (Volkswagen Transporter) is stamped rear direction Rijnstraat drove away. The abduction was still attempting to thwart, was killed while the rear window, but it failed. The research is well underway and the area is deposited.

Hours 10:14 p.m. Update: Police are engaged in large-scale study using the protocol and abduction keeps understandably, the tight-lipped. Investigative reporting is in this case and we have obviously understand.

I suppose I could go on, but why bother...

Although I don't condone what has happened, if he aligned himself with a criminal organization, it's his own fault.
The owner has been shot before, also kidnapped but escaped. Sounds to me like he has been pushing his luck.
Maybe he made a deal with gang bangers and this is why it's been so sloppy.
Pros would have ghosted him already, just saying.

Why does the establishment still think their policies are effective?
Given the current state of cannabis affairs in The Netherlands, this may be a sign of what's to come.
A possible solution - contract individual or co-op farmers.

Send lawyers, guns, and money... this ain't over yet!

Yep, at the same shop.

All of you... thank you for sharing. I'm confused (which is not unusual btw).
Did this happen two years ago AND AGAIN recently?
Or is it a repost of the same news item from two years ago?
Seems underreported if it happened recently, specially in this forum.
Some say I barely understand English much less the written Dutch language.
What are the implications if it happened two years ago but not recently?
Is my paranoia justified?

I can assure you the shooting happened this weekend.

why be paranoid, this can happen anywhere, jsut cause it happened to be a coffeeshop, las t week in Valley Stream NY, liquor store owner wher being robbed when the police came the robbers came out shooting, the store owner was targeted due to money, so like i said these things happen all the time

yep they sure do, I remember kadinski got raided last year or year before.

You would think more cs's would be under threat from these mugs

So yes there was a drive by shooting at 02:00 a few days ago. No one was injured and the shop was closed at the time. Reading the article below from AT5, it looks like the shop name has changed as well. Like I said the article that is posted above is regarding the previous owners kidnapping, which you can find video for on youtube.

He may well have bitten off more than he could chew or it could be a case of good old fashioned extortion. Either way - or possibly a third way - I doubt the full truth will ever come out. Scary stuff!

Looks like Coffeeshop Scylas is now closed permanently.

order of Mayor Van der Laan, permanently closed.

From police investigation shows that on 21 January with a firearm a large number of bullets on the windows of the coffee shop has been fired. In Coffeeshop Scylas, formerly Good Good coffee, are more serious violent incidents occurred. In December 2009, in broad daylight the former coffeeshop abducted by four masked men armed with firearms. The man managed to escape only in March 2010.
