Munich Increases Security in Crime-Prone Botanical Garden

Bavarian authorities implement stricter measures to combat drug dealing and violence in the city's central park.

München's Alter Botanischer Garten, near the Hauptbahnhof, is identified as a hotspot for drug activity and violence.
Ministerpräsident Markus Söder and other officials emphasize the need for increased police presence and surveillance.
The city plans to enforce a weapons, alcohol, and cannabis possession ban in the park by December.
Recent incidents, including a fatal assault later attributed to a heart attack, have heightened public concern.
Local businesses and residents express relief at the new measures aiming to restore safety and order.
