Danish Post Office Suspends Deliveries to Immigration Hotspot, Drivers Too Scared to Go There
The post office in Denmark has halted deliveries to a troubled, high-immigration neighborhood because its drivers are afraid to go there.
PostNord, the national mail carrier, this week pulled it staff from Vollsmose, a district of Odense, Denmark’s third-largest city.
It said the decision was made after one of their vans was broken into during a delivery. Violent threats have also been made against two other drivers.
Local media reports noted that immigration and crime are a problem in the area.
The Local, an English-language Danish news site, said the area has a reputation for “high crime and unemployment rates, as well as a large proportion of people of immigrant descent living in the area.
Their previous coverage of the area includes stories of a Muslim cleric who declared Jewish people “the offspring of apes and pigs”, as well as a report on police being attacked with a Molotov cocktail.
Danish newspaper Information Bladet claimed the area is so dangerous that firefighters refuse to attend incidents there without a police escort.
A spokesman for PostNord apologized for the break in service for the 10,000 or so customers affected, but said it was necessary.
He said: “We have decided to prioritize consideration for the safety of our staff above the very large inconvenience to many of our customers.”
