Kiel: Police increase arms controls after knife attacks in Gaarden

After alarming knife attacks in Kiel, the police have now strengthened the controls in the Gaarden district! As part of the special development organization (BAO), the Kiel police department conducts targeted weapons controls to sensitize the citizens and increase security. Last week, five people had to go to the hospital due to stab wounds, and a 17-year-old suspect is now in custody. The emergency services have mobilized these events!

Gaarden-Ost is recognized as a control area, which means that police officers are allowed to check people and their things involved. These measures bear fruits: Citizens are mostly positive about the controls, many report that media reporting has caused them to think about their own behavior in terms of wearing weapons. The police remain vigilant in view of the high dangers due to violent clashes in public space!
