A border police patrol discovered about 20 kilos of heroin and 18 kilos of cocaine on Autobahn 7 in a 36-year-old’s car. The drugs were professionally hidden, announced the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) on Thursday. That is typical for smugglers: “They always try to install it in the vehicle in such a way that you don’t recognize it at first glance,” said an LKA spokesman. What the man was up to with the drugs is still under investigation. After the control on (last) Friday evening in Füssen in Oberallgäu, he was taken into custody.

A joke called the police in Füssen: A 45-year-old disguised himself as a bush, placed himself in a flower pot and scared passers-by in the pedestrian zone in Füssen. “The man let the camera run and after the action on Saturday put everything online on his YouTube channel,” said a police spokeswoman on Sunday. According to the information, the costume looked real. “It is not a criminal offense yet – but as soon as the filmed people report, we will investigate,” said the police spokeswoman. For example, violations of the right to one’s own image, coercion or threats could be considered.

Customs officers discovered around 810 liters of high-proof alcohol in two vans at the German-Austrian border crossing at Füssen-Ziegelwies. The smugglers had poured the alcohol into hundreds of plastic bottles and 20 canisters, the main customs office announced on Thursday.

The two controlled drivers initially stated on Tuesday night that they did not have any taxable goods with them on their way from Albania to Great Britain. When the customs officers smelled suspiciously at the bottles, the smell of alcohol wafted towards them.

Since an alcohol tax of over 4200 euros would actually be due for the transit of the goods in Germany, the containers were seized. Criminal tax proceedings were initiated against one of the two drivers, who identified himself as the owner of a transport company, and required a security deposit of around 7,000 euros.

As the police announced on Tuesday, the 49-year-old first ran into the Füssen police station, threw a fine and 30 euros on the floor and ran away. Apparently she was annoyed about the ticket she had received. When a 36-year-old officer ran after her, the woman had already got into her car. According to the police, she drove her small car close to the 36-year-old several times. Finally she grabbed him so that he was lying on the hood of the car.

The Festspielhaus recently attracted attention with two bankruptcies and the dispute over a luxury hotel to finance the expensive music theater. The losses had been borne by a private investor in recent years.

With a non-profit GmbH founded in July 2019, which organizes the music festival, there will probably be state funding, says Florian Zwipf-Zaharia from Königswinkel Kultur gGmbH. As for the future of the Festspielhaus, he is confident: “You will make sure that it stays. I see no fear and no danger.”

The Austrian authorities have refused entry to a group of students from North Rhine-Westphalia because of a suspected coronavirus. When the authorities in Austria learned that a ski school student had symptoms of illness, they stopped the 52-person tour group that wanted to Seefeld in Tyrol on Saturday just across the border to Bavaria. According to the Ostallgäu district office, the young person had contact with a positively confirmed coronavirus patient on the Sunday before the school trip.

The bus therefore had to drive back and the tour group was looked after at the weekend by the health department of the Ostallgäu district. The student was treated in the clinic in Füssen. The remaining participants of the tour group had to spend the night from Saturday to Sunday in a gym on camp beds. The Bavarian Red Cross took over the supply.

On Sunday, the 17 and 18-year-old students drove back to Aachen by bus, the student should also be brought back to her home country by ambulance. She is classified as a suspected case, she is not yet a confirmed Covid 19 patient.

A man disguised as a bush does not have to expect police investigations after being painted in the pedestrian zone of Füssen (Ostallgäu district). The 45-year-old had frightened passers-by several times in the past few weeks with his disguise and published videos of the jokes on the Internet platform YouTube. “So far there has been no reaction from people who recognized themselves on the videos,” said a spokesman for the police headquarters in Kempten on Monday. In this respect, there is still no trial against the man.

Police officers first saw an abandoned camera in the Allgäu city on Saturday. They then discovered the Bushman nearby, who had stood in a flower pot and therefore did not attract attention. The officials told the 45-year-old that pestered passers-by could report him. Recording and publishing the pranks could violate the personal rights of those depicted.

May, who does not want to reveal her age, is also extravagant away from the stage: “I love to be chic.” “Chic” means for her: a floor-length dress made of red velvet, pleated. And heels, also made of red velvet. “Sure, when I go to the gym, I put on different shoes,” she admits.

The 65-year-old showed no understanding for the incident on Monday, but pulled the 30-year-old woman’s hair. When the girl’s mother pulled the assailant away, the senior tripped over the curb, fell and suffered a laceration on the head. Her husband then kicked the girl’s mother in the stomach with a running run. Both women were taken to the hospital. The police are investigating her and the 65-year-old’s husband for assault crimes.
