On Thursday, April 24, 2025, the station forecourt in Hamm became the scene of a successful police operation against drug trafficking. A video observation by an employee of the control center led to a quick intervention by the Hamm police investigators. Around 3:50 p.m., the video observer watched several young men who obviously acted with cannabis.

The police then checked a 28-year-old man from the Olpe district. During the review in the pedestrian zone, the officials secured a cannabis consumption unit. They also discovered additional consumption units at a nearby location, which were also ensured. However, the buyers could no longer be found, which made the investigation difficult

.

Investigations and legal consequences

Against the 28-year-old, criminal proceedings for trade in cannabis were initiated. There was also a criminal complaint against a 26-year-old companion from the Märkische Kreis, who had violated a residence restriction. Both men received a dismissal from the police.

In a further step, the 28-year-old was accompanied with his companions to the main train station to ensure that they leave the place properly. This shows the determination of the police not only to tackle the drug problem, but also to keep an eye on public security.

context and development of crime in Germany

The incidents in Hamm are part of a larger trend that was influenced by cannabis partialization in Germany. According to the police crime statistics (PKS) 2024, drug crime fell by 34.2 %. However, there was an increase in certain drugs, such as cocaine and methamphetamine. This indicates that despite the regulation of cannabis, other drugs continue to be a challenge for the authorities.

The PKS also reports of 5,837,445 crimes registered in 2024, which is a slight decline by 1.7 % compared to the previous year. The main reason for this acceptance is cannabis partialization. Without this factor, an increase in crimes would have been recorded in the five -year comparison.

In summary, the incident at the station forecourt in Hamm shows how actively the police are doing against drug crime, while the general crime statistics in Germany appear in an increasingly positive light. The interplay of legislative measures and police work remains crucial for the future development of the crime situation in Germany.
