Shock at the Delft Festival: Violence and crimes overshadowed the celebration

worrying incidents at the Delftfest in Emden

The Delffest, a popular summer event in Emden, developed into a scene of several worrying incidents in the night from Saturday to Sunday. Noises of blows, screams and possible arson led to an alarming situation that put the local community into the focus of the security debate.

bodily harm during the festival

In the early morning hours of July 21, 2024 there were two dangerous bodily harm near the festival area around 1:00 a.m. and 00:10 a.m. A 23-year-old man from Moormerland and a 35-year-old Emder became both victims of attacks that may be related to alcoholic debauchery during the festival. The perpetrators quickly fled from the crime scene, which makes identification difficult. The police therefore ask witnesses for clues, since such incidents can significantly impair the feeling of security of the visitors.

tried arson - a serious incident

Another disturbing incident occurred around 9:45 p.m. in Auricher Straße. A 45-year-old man from Leer tried to put his ex-partner in danger by ignition with petrol while holding a cigarette in his hand. Fortunately, the woman noticed the dangerous stench in time and was able to prevent worse things. This incident raises questions about the willingness to use violence and mental health in ended relationships.

drunk ride shocked road users

In addition to the physical attacks, a drunk trip alerted the police on Sunday evening. A 40-year-old Leeraner was caught how he drove over the B70 with 2.27 per thousand. Since he endangered other road users, his driver's license was confiscated and he too is now faced with criminal proceedings. Such incidents underline the questionable dimensions of alcohol at the wheel and the need for reconnaissance campaigns.

controls against noise pollution in road traffic

The police also use these incidents to draw attention to the problem of noise pollution in road traffic. On Sunday, several motorcycles were checked, which noticed due to high noise levels and lost their operating license. The use of so-called DB killers that regulate the noise level is essential in order to adhere to legal limit values. This shows that not only the behavior of the drivers, but also the technical conditions of the vehicles are the focus of police work.

effects on the community and future prospects

The incidents at this year's Delft Festival throw a light on the challenges with which the Emden Community is faced with. The police have announced that they are increasingly acting against such offenses and carrying out controls to ensure the security of the citizens. The festival that normally offers a peaceful get -together has drawn attention to the need for prevention measures in order to promote public security and to strengthen trust in the police.

FAZIT

The events at the Delft Festival show how important it is to ensure security at public events. While the police are actively looking for witnesses and notes, it encourages citizens to take responsibility and to campaign for the security and well -being of the community.
