Police use: drugs, weapons and frenzy discovered in Hamm!

Innenstadt, Deutschland - A comprehensive police operation caused a sensation last Friday, May 30th. Between 7:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., the city and the police conducted extensive controls in the station quarters, the prohibition of weapons in the city center and at the popular scene meeting on the Nordring. Not only drugs, but also several violations in road traffic were reported here, such as Express reported.

A total of almost 40 violations were found. These included excessive speeds, non -compliance with seat belt duties and the use of cell phones while driving. Particularly explosive: an e-scooter driver was under the influence of drugs and had to hand in a blood sample. In addition, both civilian and uniformed officials in the station district came against illegal drug trafficking, which led to eight criminal proceedings initiated and ensuring various drugs and cash.

violations and weapons

The controllers also interested the residents: a whole series of people were checked in the weapon ban zone on Santa-Monica-Platz and Südstraße. Around 60 people were checked at night. The police secured a PTB weapon and ammunition for a 41-year-old, while a 33-year-old was found with a manipulated cutter knife. Both now have to adjust to sensitive fines.

The weapon ban zone, which has been in force since August 31, 2024, testifies to the ongoing debate about security in urban rooms. In view of knife attacks, such as the one that recently took place in Solingen and demanded several deaths, Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck demands an expansion of the weapon ban zones and stricter weapons laws. Throughout Germany, nine federal states have already set up such zones. North Rhine-Westphalia, which also includes Cologne, is particularly observed, because in recent years there has been a total number of 1,064 confiscated weapons in cities such as Düsseldorf and Cologne, such as Tagesschau.

traffic controls: A look at the city limits

However,

traffic controls are not just an issue in Hamm. Similar missions can also be observed in other German cities. In Berlin, for example, 280 road users were checked in Prenzlauer Berg, Wedding and Weißensee. Eleven people had to take blood after being tested for drugs and alcohol. This shows the increasing pressure on drivers to adhere to the rules, such as n-tv. There was also an abuse of drugs, for example, two alleged dealers were arrested.

The comprehensive use in Hamm and the parallels in other cities illustrate the urgency to protect security and order in the urban centers. It is to be hoped that the police's measures will not only bring short -term success, but also contribute to reducing drug abuse and violent offenses in the long term.
