Police raise the alarm: Rockers meet in East Frisia - weapons secured!

Halbemond, Deutschland - in East Frisia, more precisely in half moon, hundreds of members of the rocker group Gremium MC gathered for a multi -day meeting last weekend. The police did not remain idle and implemented an extensive control program to ensure security and possibly prevent burgeoning crimes. [n-tv] reports that more than 4,000 people and around 1,500 vehicles were checked as part of these measures.

The controls were consistently peaceful and were part of a strategic zero tolerance policy of the police against rocker crime. Several dangerous items were ensured, including a machete and an ax. On the basis of these incidents, several criminal proceedings were initiated, in particular due to violations of the weapons law. [NDR] added that the meeting in Motodrom, a race track for motorcycle speedway, took place, which underlines the connection of the rockers to motorcycle sports culture.

Security in focus

The police were in action with a large contingent and specially blocked Nadörster Straße near the event location to control the arrival traffic. Officials from the riot police were also on site. The control measures were not only limited to the day of arrival, but were carried out during the entire meeting. Alcohol and drug tests were also part of the security strategy to monitor the departure of the estimated 1,500 participants on Sunday evening.

According to the State Criminal Police Office in Hanover, dozens of rocker groups in Lower Saxony are under constant observation, and the experiences show that international motorcycle clubs are often associated with serious crimes such as drug trafficking. The rocker group Gremium MC is one of the most important clubs in Germany, with 70 local groups (chapter) distributed all over the country. [bka.de] emphasizes that such groups are often associated with violent crime and special offenses, which also makes the situation complex.

rocker crime in detail

rocker groups, such as the committee MC, are characterized by a hierarchical structure and cultivate close personal ties among their members. Adequate regulations and a low willingness to cooperate with the authorities make the investigative work difficult. The number of rocker crime remains high because a code of conduct keeps members from cooperation with investigative authorities. A BKA survey shows that most of the crimes committed in these circles concern violence crimes, which is a significant security risk. The police therefore pursue a clear line and do not tolerate any legal rooms.

Overall, the topic of rocker crime and the security systems around such meetings remains a challenge that concerns not only the authorities, but also society as a whole. The measures of the police may bring a calming down at short notice, but the problem remains and continues to put the security forces of Lower Saxony under pressure.

The events in East Frisia are further evidence of the important role that the police play in the fight against rocker crime, and the need to continuously remain vigilant.
