Van Wymersch said “the action has ended. Nothing was found, no weapons, no explosives.”
She declined to provide more details but said that the three would be questioned on Sunday to establish whether they should be charged or released.
Since the March 22, killing of 32 people by suicide bombers who attacked the Brussels airport and subway system, Belgian security operatives have been on high alert.
