Bomb threat in Melle: Police search for perpetrators with audio clues!

On the night of September 29, 2024, a worrying incident occurred in the Naava discotheque in the Melle/Herford area. At around 1 a.m., police received a threatening call in which a male voice claimed that several bombs had been planted in the discotheque. Extensive security measures were immediately implemented to protect guests and staff. Police, emergency services and the discotheque's own security staff evacuated the building quickly and efficiently.

Thanks to the courageous actions of the emergency services, the building could be searched quickly. Explosive detection dogs were on duty to rule out possible dangers. The all-clear was finally given around 5 a.m. - no explosives were found and the guests were able to return safely. However, the police are now investigating charges of disturbing the public peace by threatening to commit crimes and are still looking for the unknown perpetrator.

Search and clues

In order to catch the mastermind of this crime, law enforcement authorities are relying on the public's help. They work with an audio recording of the threatening call, which could help identify the perpetrator. The Melle police are asking for information about the incident and can be reached on 05422/92260 or any other police station. The shock waves of this incident could have long-lasting effects, both for those affected and for the security situation in the region.

This worrying situation highlights how important it is for people in the community to stand together and look out for one another. Such incidents can severely impact the sense of security in a region and leave many fearful and insecure.

But there is not only news in Herford, there is also good news from the Kiwanis Club in Clinton. The club has new members, including Audrea Matthis and Genevieve Merlos-Pulley, who want to be actively involved in the community. President Daniel Ruggles reported that a donation was presented to the Clinton Police Club for the upcoming Viva Viking Celebration event on September 23rd. This event will be held at Sampson Community College and promises to be a wonderful community opportunity.

While the people in Clinton are preparing for the upcoming festival, the situation in Herford remains tense. It remains to be hoped that those responsible will be caught soon and that all guests will be able to enjoy themselves in the Naava discotheque again without any worries.
