Castrop-Rauxel: Large Police Operation in Southern Castrop-Rauxel: Many Police Cars on Patrol in Frohlinde

Reason for the Large Police Presence

On Tuesday evening, September 27, 2022, there was a large police operation in the south of Castrop-Rauxel, more precisely in the Frohlinde district. Many police cars were on patrol, and some streets were even temporarily closed.

Bomb Threat at a Residential Building

The reason for the police operation was a bomb threat at a residential building on Frohlinder Straße. According to the police, an anonymous caller had threatened to blow up the building. The police took the threat seriously and immediately initiated extensive search measures.

As part of the search, several apartments in the building were evacuated, and sniffer dogs were deployed. However, no explosives were found, and the threat turned out to be a hoax.

Criticism of the Police Operation

The large-scale police operation led to some criticism. Some residents complained that the police had overreacted to the threat and that the evacuation of the building had been unnecessary. The police, however, defended their actions, stating that they had to take the threat seriously and that the safety of the residents had been their top priority.

Conclusion

The large police operation in Frohlinde ended without any injuries or damage. However, it once again highlighted the importance of taking bomb threats seriously and the need for the police to be prepared for such situations.
