255 police operations

Halloween night in the Ländle was quiet

Halloween night is usually a very busy time. There was a lot going on in Vorarlberg, but fortunately there were no "major incidents" according to the police.

It has become a tradition for the Vorarlberg police to increase their presence on the streets on Halloween so that they can intervene quickly in the event of any crimes. This was also the case on Friday night. Fortunately, this year's Halloween was not a scary one from a police perspective: Although 255 operations were counted across the country, there were no serious crimes to report.

The police had to be called out five times because buildings had been pelted with eggs, although no property damage was caused. In addition, two cases of bodily harm due to fights were recorded at the countless Halloween parties, and the police were called out 24 times because pyrotechnics were being used illegally - the officers seized the corresponding items from a total of seven people. The regional police directorate concluded: "From the police's point of view, it was a quiet Halloween night without any major incidents."
