Crime College

International child exploitation (2x2)

Air date: May 26, 2020

Gangs of traveling pickpockets and shoplifters have been a major problem in Amsterdam for years. In 2014, a police officer raised the alarm when he caught the same perpetrators over and over again: children, mostly from the Balkans. Sometimes not even ten years old. These children are driven by adults and dragged from city to city to steal. Police and Justice decide to set up a national investigation team and eventually arrest two people from a criminal family who uses children to commit crimes.
