Security in the Bochum main station: Federal Police tightens control measures against dangerous items

main station Bochum

The federal police have announced that they will carry out increased controls at the Bochum main station until the coming weekend. The background to this measure is the increasing number of violent offenses that have been committed in connection with dangerous objects such as knives. Young people in particular are always threatened with weapons or caught even with dangerous objects. These incidents have shown that a consistent action serves to ensure the safety of all rail travelers.

The daily use of the Bochum main station by thousands of travelers makes him an important traffic junction in the Ruhr area. Especially under the influence of alcohol and narcotics, there are always disputes that escalate with dangerous objects. The federal police are now reacting with increased controls and a strict ban on driving for weapons and dangerous objects.

The general decree, which applies from July 4 to July 7, includes the entire area of the Bochum main station, including the track systems. People who violate the ban risk a dismissal, a ban on a train station or transport and a penalty payment of 200 euros. Appropriate posters were hung up in the train station to inform the public about the ban on carrying out.

The federal police emphasized the importance of this measure to ensure the safety of all rail travelers and to prevent crimes at an early stage. It is recommended to study the general order and any exceptions to avoid problems with the controls. The federal police hopes to be able to sustainably improve the situation at the Bochum main station through these measures. - nag
