Scandal at Werbelinsee: Unknown people shout slogans from the boat!
On August 15, 2025, there were some worrying incidents in Altenhof, Barnim that shaped police reports. On a boat on the Werbelinsee, unknown people shouted criminally relevant slogans. There were four men and one woman between the ages of 25 and 35. Before the police arrived, they had already left the crime scene. The police are asking for the help of witnesses in this incident who can call 03338-3610 or via the internet watchdog. These tragic events shed light on the current tensions that can be observed in many regions.
Another incident occurred in Eberwalde, where police were called to the Brandenburg Quarter shortly before 8:30 p.m. on August 14, 2025. A 39-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman were found in an apartment there and both had a breath alcohol concentration of over one per mille. To make matters worse, both were wanted on the basis of existing arrest warrants and were temporarily arrested. This shows how challenging the situation has become in some of our neighborhoods.
Riot in Eberswalde
Another story that caused a stir in Eberswalde on the same day concerns a man who insulted passers-by and threw glass bottles that morning. Witnesses reported behavior that indicated severe mood swings and possibly an exceptional psychological situation. When he tried to defend himself against the police, the 39-year-old was brought to the ground. He eventually required medical attention and was taken to a nearby hospital. Such incidents are not uncommon recently and require urgent attention.
Another theft in Bernau is also worth mentioning. An unknown person stole various spirits from a shop in Am Pankeborn on the morning of August 14, 2025. The criminal police are now investigating how this uninvited visitor was able to escape unhindered, and the damage caused is estimated at a four-digit amount.
