The 656th edition of Puetzchen's Market, a popular folk festival, came to a close on a peaceful note, according to the operation leader, First Police Commissioner Ronny Differding. The event, which attracted an estimated 950,000 attendees this year, ended with a grand fireworks display, marking the end of five days of celebrations.
Throughout the operation, the police conducted thorough checks, searching 1,051 attendees and 588 items, including bags, backpacks, and other personal belongings. The checks resulted in 48 investigations being initiated, with six of them being for theft and 21 for bodily harm.
One significant incident occurred at around 22:45 on the final day when a knuckleduster was found during a police check on a known 18-year-old. The individual was given a ban from the event and an investigation was initiated. The figure is subject to the possibility of further charges being filed with the Bonn police or offenses being reclassified during investigations.
The festival was not without its challenges, as 113 attendees were banned from the event. Seven people had to be taken into custody for being heavily intoxicated or not complying with a previous ban.
Commissioner Differding emphasized that the remaining market days were peaceful and calm from the police's perspective. He also highlighted that the final day of the festival was relatively peaceful from a police perspective. The operation leader concluded that the festival was a successful and safe event.
However, it is important to note that the number of criminal charges presented in this preliminary operational report may still change. The search results do not provide the name of the police operations leader for the Puetzchen-Markt event.
In conclusion, the Puetzchen-Markt festival concluded peacefully, with the police ensuring the safety and security of the attendees. Despite a few incidents, the festival was overall a success, as highlighted by the operation leader.
