Drug Dealing Persists in Helsinki's Kaisaniemi Park Despite Renovations

Kaisaniemi Park in Helsinki has seen a reduction in disturbances following renovations, but drug dealing continues, with hard drug sales reportedly moving to areas like Sörnäinen.

Despite improvements, the park remains a site for illicit activities. Users of the park report that the trade in hard drugs has relocated, while cannabis sales persist within the park itself.

A man who introduced himself as "Didi" stated that his group actively monitors Kaisaniemi Park. Their self-proclaimed mission is to ensure that drugs are not sold to minors within the park premises.

Police Commissioner Jani Aunio confirmed that the park's disturbance-related incidents are not significantly different from other areas in Helsinki. While acknowledging the positive impact of the renovations in reducing overall unrest, the issue of drug dealing remains a concern.
