A 49-year-old German man was sentenced to six weeks in prison for illegally sleeping in two private caravans in the Netherlands. He remained silent in court, only revealing his date of birth. In April 2025, he slept in caravans in Dokkum and Sumar, leaving evidence such as a used toilet and dirty socks. He also broke a window in a third caravan in Brantgum. He had previously been convicted in March for a similar offense, receiving a two-week sentence.
