Police carrying out checks under the security concept seized marijuana packaged
for sale and a precision scale from a 22-year-old on 29 October 2026.[1]Police said such offences are reported to the prosecution in every case.[1]
The seizure took place during checks under the security concept that Hildesheim
police have run since September 2024 around the Hauptbahnhof, the Marienfriedhof
and the Ohlendorfer Brücke.[1]The police classified those places as a
dangerous place under the Lower Saxony Police and Regulatory Authorities Act,
which lets them check identity and search people and their belongings without
suspicion.[1]More than 1,700 suspicion-free checks have been carried out
since the security concept came into force, repeatedly producing dangerous
objects and drugs.[1]On 10 November 2026 officers found a one-handed knife on
a 21-year-old on the Marienfriedhof during one of the same checks.[1]
A separate local report records that the first check under the concept, on 26
September 2024 at the Hildesheim bus station, seized 46 grams of marijuana from
an 18-year-old.[2]The security concept was continued to January 2028 and will
then be reviewed.[1]
