Castle in shock: Drunk drivers and predatory thieves active!

Castle in shock: Drunk drivers and predatory thieves active!

In Burg, the issue of drunk driving and general drunkenness in public spaces is currently very important. In the early morning of October 26, 2025, at 12:30 a.m., the police checked a 25-year-old BMW driver on Neuendorfer Strasse. Even the distinct smell of alcohol suggested something bad. The breath alcohol test confirmed the suspicions: the driver had a blood alcohol level of 0.66. According to the current legal framework, clearly laid down here in the Wulf Law Firm, the young man can expect a fine of 500 euros, a driving ban of one month and two points in Flensburg. It is particularly important that levels as low as 0.5 per mille can be punished as an administrative offense.

The blood alcohol limits are strictly regulated in Germany and include, among other things, that possible crimes can occur from just 0.3 per mille, even without anything having happened. Driving under the influence of alcohol is not only considered dangerous, but also has a massive impact on the affected driver's driving license. This makes it clear that even seemingly minor acts of drinking can have serious consequences, just like with the BMW driver who was caught.

Inconvenience in castle

Meanwhile, another incident in Burg is also causing a stir. On October 25, 2025, at 4:05 p.m., a 28-year-old man from Pietzpuhl was found on Schartauer Strasse shouting loudly and harassing him. A breath alcohol test showed an incredible 2.88 per mille. Despite his high alcohol level, he was still able to express himself clearly and was sent off, which he complied with. However, there was no criminal relevance here and no proceedings were initiated.

There were also reports of a robbery in Südring 1. In another incident on the same day, a 43-year-old man wanted to steal two bottles of alcohol and hit an employee in the face who prevented him from doing so. The high-alcohol perpetrator had a blood alcohol level of 2.11 and could only be arrested by two witnesses. Criminal proceedings for robbery are certain here.

Hit and run and other crimes

Another event that is attracting attention concerns a fugitive from an accident on Zibbeklener Straße 7. On October 24, 2025, a 54-year-old Audi driver parked his car and later noticed scratches on the paint and a dent on the passenger door. The perpetrator left without fulfilling his duties. Police are currently looking for witnesses who may have information about a silver Mercedes.

Overall, these incidents reflect the challenges facing a city like Burg. Alcohol abuse is not just a personal problem, but has far-reaching consequences for the community. In its regular reports, the ADAC draws attention to the fact that driving under the influence of alcohol not only affects your private household and your driving license, but also other road users and their safety. One thing is clear: It is time to take responsibility and take drinking and driving seriously. The ADAC has helpful information to protect not only yourself, but also others.
