Report Crime Anonymously
Guus Wesselink, Director of Meld Misdaad Anoniem: "Violent criminals should not think that they can avoid their sentence in Amsterdam. We have to prevent these individuals from committing more serious offences, making more victims and making our country less safe. Luckily, there is a safe institution that witnesses can call to help without putting themselves at risk. Anonymous tips via M.0800-7000 and Crime Stoppers as well as cooperation with Interpol and the FBI have contributed to 150 wanted criminals being arrested worldwide, including two Brits in Amsterdam. However, there are still more criminals at large, making the help of the public very necessary.”
