The municipal swimming pool in Kehl, on the Franco-German border, had to be completely evacuated on Sunday 28 June after an invasion by a group of 50-60 people from France. The persons left the scene before they could be arrested, the Offenburg police said in a press release.
The heat wave warms not only the body, but also the mind. While Germany broke its national temperature record with a temperature of 41.7°C recorded in Coschen on Sunday 28 June, police were forced to intervene shortly before 17:00. in the Auenheim-Kehl basin after several incidents involving a group of men from France, states a press release from the Offenburg police.
These individuals allegedly attempted to enter the establishment several times without paying. More precisely, according to the first elements of the investigation, according to France 3 Grand Est, between 50 and 60 people climbed “on the outer fence” before reaching the outer pool.
Tensions with security agents
Their presence quickly led to serious tensions with the security agents. However, according to police, the group then “expressed their displeasure” by knocking over trash cans, “completely” ignoring house rules as well as safety instructions. Despite several calls for order and repeated requests from employees to leave the premises, the situation did not calm down.
Finally, police were forced to evacuate the entire pool before closing it. The attackers, for their part, apparently managed to escape during the evacuation of the establishment without being detected by the police.
