Accident and graffiti vandalism shock Upper Lusatia!

There was a serious traffic accident in Halbendorf near Weißwasser in which two vehicles collided head-on. The alleged perpetrator, a 19-year-old, and his 17-year-old passenger were injured. The police immediately began investigating the cause of the accident in order to clarify exactly what happened. Such accidents are not only unfortunate, they also raise questions about road safety.

Meanwhile, in the Elbe-Elster district, police arrested a 48-year-old man who is suspected of being responsible for two fires. These fires, which affected an area of ​​15 to 30 square meters in the region between Pechhütte and Sorno, were quickly extinguished by the fire departments. Evidence has been seized and criminal proceedings are already underway.

Graffiti at school

At the elementary school in Ebersbach/Oberlausitz, paint smearers caused significant material damage amounting to around 3,000 euros. A total of 14 pieces of graffiti were left on school grounds, prompting police to investigate. According to the Kubon Detective Agency The criminal liability for graffiti damage to property can vary depending on the amount of damage and the age of the perpetrators. Minors under the age of 14 are not of criminal responsibility, while young people between the ages of 14 and 18 must expect various educational measures depending on the severity of the offense.

The criminal consequences for serious damage can range from fines to prison sentences of up to three years. Things become serious for the perpetrators, especially if there are frequent violations or significant damage. In Ebersbach it could not be a “joke” if the investigating authorities take a closer look at the color on the school grounds.

The drunk driver caused a stir

Another incident that involved police work in the region was the arrest of a driver who was driving through the Elbe-Elster district with a blood alcohol level of 3.5. In Lieskau she lost control of her vehicle and went off the road. Fortunately, she was not injured, but the search was launched immediately. Criminal proceedings were also initiated in this case, which shows how important compliance with traffic rules is for public safety.

The legal framework for such damage to property and traffic offenses is clearly anchored in the German Criminal Code (StGB). The police take such crimes seriously, especially when property or the safety of people are involved. The Attorney Andreas Junge emphasizes that in many cases a careful examination of the evidence can be decisive for the outcome of a case. When it comes to young perpetrators, a more lenient approach is often sought to give them a chance for rehabilitation.

Such incidents are a clear indication that not only road safety but also the protection of public property is on the agenda. Local authorities are required to raise awareness to prevent similar incidents in the future.
