Young shoplifter caught in Naumburg – fall causes excitement!

There were several incidents in Naumburg on Monday that excited the local police. From a shoplifter to a drunk cyclist to a traffic accident, the events show that there was a lot going on in the city.

On Friedrich-Nietzsche-Strasse, employees of a shop observed a 15-year-old teenager trying to hide drinks under his clothes in order to escape without paying. Two courageous witnesses wanted to stop him. A small incident occurred: one of the women fell and was slightly injured. Luckily, a third witness came to help and stopped the thief until the police arrived. Ultimately, the young person was processed for identification and then handed over to his legal guardian [polizei.sachsen-anhalt.de](https://polizei.sachsen-anhalt.de/das-sind-wir/presse/pi-halle-saale/burgenlandkreis?tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5 Baction%5D=single&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=Base&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Buid%5D=605506&cHash=e557c09e60aad11c3038725676b5b24b) reported.

On the streets of Naumburg

A little later, on the Postring, a 27-year-old cyclist was targeted by the police because she was driving conspicuously. A breath alcohol test showed an alarming 2.83 per mille. This is well above the legal limit of 0.5 per mille, which is already considered an administrative offense. In the case of the cyclist, it is also a case of repeated violation, which can result in severe consequences. She had to go to the hospital to give a blood sample and criminal proceedings were initiated. In Germany, driving is punishable as a crime if the alcohol level is as low as 1.1 per mille, and even if the alcohol level is 0.3 per mille, it can become dangerous if failures occur, as [legalnerd.de](https://legalnerd.de/rechtswissen/ desired-alcohol-am-tax-trafficking/) explains.

In the event of traffic accidents under the influence of alcohol, drivers must also be prepared for high financial and criminal consequences. Insurance companies can reduce benefits or demand reimbursement. Road users are often liable not only for physical damage, but also for any damage to vehicles, which can lead to high claims for damages. Repeated violations can even lead to a permanent suspension of your driver's license.

Accidents in Zeitz

Last but not least, the police had to intervene in Zeitz. There was a traffic accident there in which a driver drove into a moped in front. The 15-year-old moped driver fell and had to be taken to hospital to be examined. For a short period of time there was traffic disruption while the accident was being recorded, which was both annoying and dangerous for residents and passers-by.

There was also a false alarm in Lützen. Towards the evening, the police were called to a burglary alarm on Göteborger Straße. However, the officers found no signs of crime and informed the security service. Such situations can generate a lot of excitement, but often without justification, highlighting the need for quick and proper verification.

For all traffic and alcohol-related topics, it is more important than ever to be informed about the applicable regulations and limits. The alcohol limit is strictly monitored: 0.0 per mille for novice drivers and those under 21, 0.5 per mille is an administrative offense and from 1.1 per mille it is punished as absolute inability to drive, as can also be found on adac.de.

Monday's events in and around Naumburg remind us how fast-paced and delicate the situation in road traffic can be. Sufficient knowledge about alcohol and its consequences while driving is the key to safe driving and responsible behavior.
