Police Bremen: Over 30 controls against drugs and gun crime!
in the heart of Bremen-Mitte, more precisely in the eastern suburb, the police drew all the registers on the evening of June 14, 2025 to fight street crime and drug trafficking in the Steintor and Ostertorviertel quarters. In the period between 6:30 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., the officials carried out extensive controls in which more than 30 people were checked. The focus in particular was on compliance with the weapons law and the control of the weapon ban zone, which showed that the police were decisive against grievances.

After the controls, not only various criminal charges, including the Consumer Cannabis Act, were manufactured, but 19 dismissal was also granted. This is a clear indication that the police are persistent against drug abuse and the associated offenses. Two arrest warrants could also be enforced, which underlines the determination of the emergency services.
the legal bases
An important aspect of controls is the legal basis that has been in force since January 16, 2018 with the ordinance on the ban on leading weapons. This states that driving is prohibited on public roads, paths or squares between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. According to Section 1 of the Ordinance, only certain persons, such as the fire brigade and regulatory services, may claim exceptions as long as public security is not endangered. The Transparency Bremen emphasizes that this regulation in the course of the control of street criminal is of central importance in Bremen.
Overall, this incident shows that the Bremen police have strengthened their commitment to ensure security in the neighborhoods and to protect the citizens from drug crime. The continuous cooperation with other security authorities is continued in order to cope with the challenges in the region even more effectively.
