A busy day at the Dour Festival: “anti-narcotics” operations were carried out
Unfortunately, insecurity is present everywhere and malicious people will also go to Tomorrowland and other festivals. There are even very well organized professional gangs that go there and have only one objective: to steal cell phones and jewelry. Reason why the Antwerp police warn a few hours from one of the biggest festivals in the world. “One of the main pieces of advice we can give people is to enjoy the festival, but not to film it”, explains a police officer to our colleagues from the Nieuwsblad.
Should we fear an invasion of rats in Tomorrowland? “We must act as soon as possible”
If you are ever robbed, the police insist that you report it. “Even the security of the Tomorrowland site is sensitized. The more information we receive, the better”, explains another policeman who evokes gangs which have been raging for decades all over the world and which have been operating in Belgium since 2010, where the first reports concerning one of these gangs have discovered during the Laundry Day festival in Antwerp. “These reports are very important for the ensuing sanctions. Ordinary theft carries a maximum sentence of three years. If further investigation reveals the existence of a gang, this sentence is already increased to five years.”
