Arson attack on used clothing container in Colbitz – witnesses wanted!
On the night of October 31, 2025, several incidents in the region caused excitement and the police were on alert. In Colbitz, unknown people went too far with a used clothing container by setting a fire next to a container that had already burned down. The incident occurred at 12:10 a.m. and firefighters were able to extinguish the fire in time, even before the police arrived. Before these incidents, it is important to ask ourselves: How can such wanton destruction be prevented? The police are asking anyone who saw anything to call 03904/4780. This could help track down the perpetrators and prevent future incidents. [sachsen-anhalt.de](https://www.sachsen-anhalt.de/bs/pressemitigungen/polizei?tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Baction%5D=single &tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=Base&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Buid%5D=608940&cHash=7b73a6c4a36cd89a8d058f84921e9797) reports that the wanton destruction of public objects was unfortunately not the only concern during the night.
A little later, namely at 1:41 a.m., the police officers did not miss the opportunity to carry out a traffic stop in Kroppenstedt. They noticed a 38-year-old driver who smelled strongly of alcohol. When the officers spoke to him, he reacted alarmingly slowly. A breath alcohol test showed a shocking 1.92 per mille! The driver's license was confiscated and further driving was prohibited. This situation is not only worrying for road safety, but also an example of the importance of acting responsibly.
Reports about e-scooters and alcohol
Not long after the incident in Kroppenstedt, another drunken driver was stopped in Wolmirstedt at 2:13 a.m. A 30-year-old e-scooter driver rode unsteadily in meandering lines on the footpath. The tests also showed alarming values for him: 1.71 per mille. Here too, a blood sample was taken and further travel was prohibited. It is frightening to see how often such incidents occur and the danger they pose to other road users.
These developments in the region make it clear that a lot of educational work still needs to be done in the area of road safety. The police are required not only to carry out active checks, but also to work preventively to raise awareness of the dangers of drunk driving. Those affected or witnesses are asked to come forward in order to increase road safety.
