A 40-year old man from Ridderkerk in the Netherlands has been arrested for reportedly downloading files accidentally sent to him by the police, then apparently refusing to send them back unless he received a reward.

That's according to the Dutch National Police's report on the incident (via BitDefender). The report (machine translated) says the man was arrested for 'computer hacking'. Prior to the incident, he was in contact with the police to send over files related to a different case.
