In the Netherlands, the owner of GS Caravans & Campers, Gerben Steinmeijer, helped police arrest a fraudster who sold him a stolen camper van. In November 2025, he paid €46,000 for a camper van from Germany that turned out to be stolen. In February 2026, he saw another ad from the same seller and, recognizing the voice, alerted the police. On February 11, 2026, the suspect was arrested in Ootmarsum while attempting to deliver a second stolen vehicle. The prosecutor demanded 12 months in prison, half suspended, and compensation.
