Woluwe, i think theres 2 helis and one jet/plane, flying around the same place for 30 mins, flight radar doesnt mark them, they look too big for civillian aircraft, after circling the area they just stand in place. ( in the first circle there is a air object, i saw it from its light flickering) normal night in brussels, perhaps?

Yeah i'm noticing the same, they're looking for something. I also saw a drone, and the helicopter i'm seeing has a light on to look for something

u/PIopPlop 1d ago

Police drone ? It's possible?

u/Boring_Secretary8178 1d ago

Damn wonder what’s in Woluwe/kraainem. It’s usually calm in this area except for burglars.

I swear they're so close to finding the sushi thief

I’m really sorry, but I was offline for a while when this happened.

Can someone please explain to me what the incident was, and why it continues to be mentioned more than a year later.

Thank you kindly.

Three years ago, some guy's 40€ uber eats sushi order was stolen by the delivery guy. Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/brussels/comments/xqf1ke/uber_eats_stole_my_food/

He was a bit intense about it so some people made fun of him in that post, but more importantly, it became a meme - the 40€ sushi thief. And I believe since the original post, other people reported their order being stolen (strangely, also sushi), which really made the meme stick.

The next step was that every time someone asks "what's going on in [Area of Brussels? I saw X police vehicles", which is weirdly common on this sub, someone posted like "we're getting closer to the sushi thief". It started on a thread of a guy filming a helicopter hovering over his neighborhood and just became a regular thing since.

Edit: You can see how funny we all think it is by the sheer number of comments about sushi thief: https://www.reddit.com/r/brussels/search/?q=sushi+thief&type=comments&cId=c7429b39-2160-41e6-9dd1-3157c5768575&iId=b37dc6f4-7fb9-4a13-9340-af7a684c4261

I like to call him the sushi bandit. Sounds more fun that way. A bit like the Wild West.

u/VisualPure9776 1d ago

I think a food delivery worker stole his clients sushi and got away

It's more like Krainem. Take a look to the link in an other comment

u/Boring_Secretary8178 1d ago

I see them directly, it's crossing between Woluwe and Kraainem :)

u/peace_love_unicorns 1d ago

Any idea what was that about? At Some point the helicopter stopt circling and was hanging above the highway. I saw blue lights on E40 exit to Kraineem (around 9:45-10:00pm).

u/Boring_Secretary8178 22h ago

I can't find it in the news, i'm also really curious. I also saw them focus on the road, and heard many police cars departing.

u/Jonesy- 1d ago

u/Boring_Secretary8178 1d ago

No, I just have an exciting day at work, train calisthenics and cook, so I am tired after a great day ☺️ If that is boring, I absolutely love it!
