Alleged Incident of Knockout Drops at Hüsten's Fair Identified by Police

In the heart of Hochsauerlandkreis, an unsettling incident has occurred at a local fair in Arnsberg. The police are currently investigating a suspected use of date-rape drugs, following a report from a 14-year-old fair visitor.

The incident unfolded in the afternoon of 16:00, when the teenager ordered a cold drink. However, the story took an alarming turn when the 14-year-old, demonstrating a commendable sense of caution, used a rapid test bracelet to check the beverage for date-rape drugs. The test indicated positive twice, raising serious concerns.

Although rapid tests can be helpful, it's important to note that they do not provide definitive proof of date-rape drugs. Nonetheless, the findings have prompted an immediate response from the Criminal Police, who have initiated investigations into attempted dangerous bodily harm.

The 14-year-old, a resident of Arnsberg, did not consume the drink and remained unharmed. Her parents were immediately informed of the incident.

In light of this event, it is a stark reminder for everyone, especially young people, to be cautious, especially when drinks are offered by strangers. If you suspect that you have been given date-rape drugs, it is crucial to report the incident to the police and seek medical attention immediately.

At this time, there are no suspects in the investigation, and no arrests have been made. Witnesses with information are asked to contact the Arnsberg police station at 02932-90200.

The police in Hochsauerlandkreis are urging vigilance and are committed to bringing those responsible to justice. As the investigation continues, the community is encouraged to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
