Law enforcement is enforcing substance control at roadblock positions.
In a series of coordinated measures, the Bremen Police targeted various establishments in the Steintor and Huchting areas, focusing on illegal activities that have plagued these neighbourhoods for some time.
The operations, which took place from Wednesday afternoon to late at night, saw the deployment of police forces in and around the main station and the Bremen quarter. A total of twelve locations were targeted, including a tea room on Kirchhuchtinger Landstraße, where approximately 400 grams of marijuana and several units of cocaine were seized. This led to charges for suspected drug trafficking.
A shisha bar on the same street was also closed due to suspicion of illegal sports betting. Drugs and cash were seized during these measures, indicating the extent of the illegal activities uncovered.
Several other violations were detected during the inspections. Illegal gambling, significant hygiene deficiencies, illegal business activity, violations of narcotics law, labeling requirements, packaging law, and cash shortages were among the transgressions uncovered. Street vendors were apprehended during these measures.
The Bremen Police also took action against serious deficiencies revealed during the inspections. No details about the specific establishments affected were provided, but it is known that several criminal charges were filed during these measures.
In a positive development, an open arrest warrant was executed, and a reported missing juvenile was returned to their facility. The name of the police officer who executed the arrest warrants and brought back the missing youth is not available in the available sources.
The Bremen Police continues to combat street crime for many weeks and months, working together with other security authorities. These measures are part of their ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and security of the city's residents.
Police issued several dispersal orders during the operations to maintain order and prevent any potential disturbances. Several kilos of untaxed tobacco were found during the inspections, further underscoring the importance of these operations.
These actions serve as a reminder of the Bremen Police's commitment to upholding the law and maintaining a safe and secure city for all its residents. The public is encouraged to report any suspicious activities to the authorities to aid in their efforts.
