Randals before third division duel? Aue relies on drastic security measures!

In front of the explosive third division duel between Erzgebirge Aue and Energie Cottbus on Tuesday, the security authorities are on alert. The district office of the Erzgebirge district has issued a drastic "general order", which turns Aue into a strictly monitored restricted zone for half a day. From 2 p.m., numerous objects such as baseball bats, knives and even protective clothing are strictly prohibited. The security zone extends across the entire urban area and is maintained until 11 p.m. to secure public order.

The police expect a “significant part” of these supporters to be assessed as violent. Massive security concerns were expressed because the Cottbus fans have noticed in the past through pyrotechnics and outbreaks of violence. At the last meeting between the two teams, there were violent riots in 2015, in which police officers were attacked and even children were injured. In order to prevent such scenes, the police will be on site with several hundreds, reports www.bild.de .
