The group were only discovered after one of them turned up at a local pub. A man, 58, and six adults - aged 18 to 25 - were living at a farm in the northern province of Drenthe. They were found after one of the six ordered beer at a bar in the nearby village of Ruinerwold in north of the country. The man then told staff he needed help, broadcaster RTV Drenthe reported. At first it was assumed that the older man was the father, but local mayor Roger de Groot told reporters that was not the case. And the man was also not the owner of the farmhouse, Mr de Groot said, adding: "I've never seen anything like it." The public broadcaster said that the family had been living in isolation waiting for the world to end. Bar owner Chris Westerbeek described how one family member had come in, ordered five beers and drunk them. "Then I had a chat with him and he revealed he had run away and needed help... then we called the police," he said. He added: "He had long hair, a dirty beard, wore old clothes and looked confused. He said he'd never been to school and hadn't been to the barber for nine years." "He said he had brothers and sisters who lived at the farm. He said he was the oldest and wanted to end the way they were living." Police were sent to the farmhouse where they carried out a search of the property. They found a hidden staircase behind a cupboard in the living room that led down to a basement room where the family were housed. Ruinerwold is a village with a population of less than 3,000. The farm is outside the village and is accessible by a bridge over a canal. The farm, which is part-hidden behind a row of trees, also has a large vegetable plot and a goat. A neighbour told Dutch media that he had only ever seen one man on the farm, no children, and that there had been animals on the grounds, such as geese and a dog.

He told Algemeen Dagblad news website: "It's actually pretty strange, now I come to think about it." Police in Drenthe confirmed that a 58-year-old man had been arrested and was under investigation after refusing to co-operate. "Yesterday someone reported to us [that they were] worried about the living conditions of people in a house in Buitenhuizerweg in #Ruinerwold," they wrote in a tweet. "We went there." "We still have many unanswered questions," they said, adding that all scenarios were open and their investigation was fully under way. The farmhouse and the surrounding grounds have been cordoned off.
