Chaotic Riot at Forensic Clinic in Bedburg-Hau: Furniture Burned, Patients Under Control
Violent Uprising Quelled at Crime Lab Facility
You know the score, folks - the forensic LVR clinic in Bedburg-Hau, North Rhine-Westphalia, became a warzone recently. A team of law enforcement, along with special units, managed to squash a riot caused by a few troublemakers. These guys were reportedly causing a "security disruption." Now, the key players are all under control.
Here's the latest 411: the rioters brilliantly tried to create chaos by setting a blaze to some furniture inside the facility. Luckily, the quick thinking and action of our shiny-badged heroes put the flames out before they could wreak too much havoc. Friends and staff were pretty spooked, though, and they promptly high-tailed it to the fenced-off outdoor area to hunker down.
Neither the authorities nor the clinic's administrators are saying much about whether any hostages were involved, but a source close to the situation let it slip that a particularly aggro patient had managed to recruit some accomplices. Together, they fashioned barricades and ignited the furniture.
To restore order, a swarm of special units and a flying crew came in, along with a crap-ton of cops, firefighters, and justice department personnel. They eventually secured most of the inmates in the closed-off outdoor area, so no one could slip out the back door. The facility houses mentally ill offenders.
It seems there's been some turbulence at the clinic in the past, with reported escapes and violent incidents involving patients. Let's hope the heads honchos can sort things out soon and bring some peace to the forensic LVR clinic.
