Two men have been shot dead on an industrial estate in the east of Zoetermeer in what appears to be a gangland killing, police said on Tuesday.

According to the Telegraaf, eyewitnesses saw a BMW pull up at speed at around 11am on Tuesday morning. One man in a balaclava jumped out and opened fire on the two victims who were sitting in a car near to a car paint shop and a boxing school.

After the shooting, the BMW drove off. The car was later found burnt out a few streets away.

Nothing has yet been said about the identity of the victims but police have said they do not know if there is a connection to an armed robbery in Zoetermeer earlier in the day.
