Chaos at the Stendal Roland Festival: Police in constant use!

in Stendal was really going on this weekend. From June 13th to 15th the 54th Stendal Rolandfest took place and moved over 12,000 visitors to the city center. The streets and squares of the old town turned into a colorful festival site with a historical flair, where regional and international artists presented their talents. The program, which included historical markets and a gala program, left nothing to be desired and ensured an inviting atmosphere in which both locals and guests from near and far were welcomed. Veranstungen-stendal.de reports that the festival is a popular meeting place for all generations.

But not everything went smoothly. The police were on site with the Stendal police station and the state riot police to ensure security. Some criminal charges were admitted to the edge of the festival, including assault and insults. A worrying event occurred on June 13, when unknown perpetrators put two pigeons in a plastic bag - one died immediately, the other had to be released. The investigation into this violation of the animal welfare is on how magdeburg-klickt.de reports.

police operations

The general location in the Stendal district was also tense during the festival. A total of 19 traffic accidents were recorded. The police also had to take care of free -range animals and missing people. In addition to physical arguments and fraud cases, there were minor drug offenses to work on. A particularly remarkable incident occurred on June 14, when a driver was caught under the influence of drugs without a driver's license. During the control on Bahnhofstrasse, it turned out that the drug test had reacted positively to amphetamines, benzodiazepines and cannabinoids.

The festivities did not end easily: in the early morning hours of June 15, a car in Havelberg occurred, which for reasons unexplained so far. The fire brigades moved out and were able to extinguish the fire, but a property damage of around 8,000 euros was caused.
