Police are increasingly presence in Siegen: Controls and arrests at the weekend

Last weekend the police in Siegen was particularly active to ensure more security in the city center. On the days from October 18 to 19 October, the police carried out numerous controls that had both preventive character and were based on incidents that had already taken place.

The measures proved to be effective because the officials had to access several times. Overall, not only weapons such as knives were confiscated in the use, but also drugs. It was particularly alarming to find that a minor young person was caught when he tried to illegally buy drugs. In a further incident, the police arrested a suspect against which an arrest warrant was available.

scope of controls

A total of almost 180 people were checked during the weekend. The feeling of security in the city is significantly strengthened by such controls, even if they are not always pleasant. Of the controlled people, 14 were asked by the emergency services to leave the city center. Some of them had allegedly stolen objects with them that were also confiscated.

The assignment shows that the police are doing a targeted approach to crime. "The results show how important these controls are," said District Administrator Andreas Müller and promised that the police continue to look closely in the future and stay on the ball.

The reinforced controls are part of a more comprehensive strategy to improve public security in the city. It remains to be seen how these measures will affect the security feeling of the citizens in the long term. Further information can be found on this topic here .
