Amsterdam police chief, Pieter-Jaap Aalsberberg, says that grenades can be bought on the black market or dark web for 5-20 Euro.  Those found in Amsterdam regularly come from Yugoslavia or Russia.  He added, “Hand grenades belong to a war and not to a city.”  At present they have been found placed in locations in Amsterdam in a targeted manner.  They are probably part of a threat to a particular location, business or owners of a business.
