Security at the Gäubodenvolksfest: Police reports on incidents and thefts
The Gäubodenvolksfest in Straubing, known as the second largest folk festival in Bavaria, attracts numerous guests every year. However, this enthusiasm also brings challenges for security and order, as the current incidents show.
The challenges for the police during the festival
The police have their hands full during the folk festival to ensure the safety of visitors. Drinking alcohol on the festival area is allowed, but the consumption of cannabis is strictly prohibited. Despite these strict regulations, there were several incidents on Monday that led to advertisements.
conflicts on the festival site
On Monday afternoon, the police watched a 29-year-old who smoked a joint around 4.30 p.m. The man was reported due to this administrative offense and his joint confiscated. Such violations are not uncommon in the context of the festivities and underline the need to clarify visitors about the applicable laws and regulations.
incidents and physical arguments
On the same day, there was also a physical argument between a 22 and 19-year-old around 11:45 p.m. Both men were slightly injured and the police are now investigating them due to the "mutual assault". These incidents can affect the general feeling of security at a festival that should actually serve the entertainment and celebration together.
thefts on weekends
In addition to the physical conflicts, several thefts were reported in addition to the physical conflicts. On Saturday morning, a visitor was stolen his wallet between 0.26 a.m. and 1 a.m. on Kinseherberg. When the EC card is blocked, he found that a debit of 465.99 euros was already made. The police are dependent on information on these incidents to determine the perpetrators.Another theft occurred between August 8 and 10 as part of the Ostbayernschau, where two stoves worth 6073 euros were stolen by a kitchen stand. Such incidents not only harm the victims, but also to the reputation of the festival, which should be based on friendliness and conviviality.
conclusion and outlook
The incidents at the Gäubodenvolksfest illustrate the need for increased security management and clarification of the festival visitors. The police not only have to punish illegal activities, but also encourage the community to take care of each other in order to make the festival an unforgettable experience for everyone.
