Several guests at a Halloween party in Rottweil, Germany, experienced nausea and vomiting in the early hours of 25 October. Konstanz police reported that day that three people had been taken to hospital and that investigators suspected the administration of incapacitating substances.
Further reporting
On 26 October, SWR reported that eleven people felt unwell at the Kraftwerk party, which had attracted almost 4,000 guests. The organiser said it was awaiting the investigation results and was in contact with police and the German Red Cross.
Announced safety measures
According to SWR, the organiser plans an awareness and support team, additional video surveillance and consideration of drink covers. These are announced measures; that report provides no findings on their effectiveness.
