Hit-and-run with property damage: white camper van sought

Circus Busch with its 15-member team has been stuck in Gladbeck since March due to coronavirus lockdowns. The city now needs the site for its own events and demands the circus leave, but the circus lacks funds for relocation. A new site near Magdeburg has been found, but fuel costs around €6,000. The city has pledged an advance payment and grant assistance to enable departure by the weekend.

The Garmin Camper 795 MT-D EU is a specialized navigation system for motorhomes and caravans. It warns about low bridges, height and weight restrictions, and environmental zones.

The system also draws significant power from the vehicle's electrical system.

The SPD has initiated a feasibility study for a third lot, citing high occupancy and economic benefits for the city.
