Early Sunday morning, a major police operation took place in Kreuzlingen on Lake Constance. A popular 24-hour flea market in the harbor area had to be evacuated as a precaution. The reason for the evacuation was an unclear threat situation that put security forces on high alert.
In the early hours of the morning, police received information about a possible danger at the event site. To ensure the safety of the numerous visitors and vendors, those in charge decided to evacuate the area immediately. People had to leave the flea market while the police cordoned off the site.
Numerous emergency services were on site to control the situation. The affected area was cordoned off over a wide area so that experts could examine the site closely. The police officially spoke of an "unclear threat situation," but initially did not provide any more specific details about the nature of the potential danger.
According to initial reports, the evacuation proceeded calmly and without major panic. Many visitors were surprised by the sudden cancellation of the event but followed the officers' instructions. So far, there are no reports of injured persons or specific incidents during the evacuation.
The police investigation is currently ongoing to clarify the background of the threat. It is not yet known when the harbor area will be reopened to the public. The authorities are asking the public to avoid the area around the harbor for the time being and to wait for further information.
