Overview
- Police nationwide reported no major disturbances despite hundreds of callouts, contrasting with more turbulent Halloweens in recent years.
- In Berlin, two minors were detained with dangerous pyrotechnics including a suspected self-made explosive, which LKA specialists secured and assessed as capable of causing severe injuries.
- In Stuttgart, at least ten attendees collapsed at a large event; police are conducting toxicology inquiries to evaluate possible K.O.-drops, with no severe injuries reported.
- In North Rhine-Westphalia, investigators are probing an illegal firework thrown into a refugee accommodation in Drolshagen; five youths are suspected and state security took over as a political motive cannot be ruled out.
- Forces used drones and mobile video at hotspots such as Duisburg and Hamburg, with footage reviewed centrally and deleted after set periods unless needed for prosecution, and Hamburg credited the approach for a notably quieter night.
