Truck break-up in Burg: Police are looking for witnesses!
There have been several police cases in the Burg region of Saxony-Anhalt in recent days, keeping local authorities on their toes. Particularly striking are a broken-in truck trailer and the unfortunately all too common accidents involving wildlife.
On June 18, 2025, the police were called to a break-in in a parked truck on Lindenallee. The vehicle's trailer was broken into between June 17 and 18, with perpetrators stealing four filling and emptying hoses. Investigations are ongoing to determine whether the perpetrators were disturbed during their plan. The police have already secured evidence and filed a criminal complaint. Witnesses who can provide information are asked to contact the Jerichower Land police station on 03921/920-0. This reports sachsen-anhalt.de.
Wildlife accidents and road safety
Another incident that concerned the police on June 18, 2025 was an accident on district road 1205 between Parey and Bergzow. A 22-year-old Audi driver collided with a deer that was crossing the road. The car suffered material damage, while the deer unfortunately died at the scene of the accident. The police urge you to be particularly careful when driving, especially at dusk and in forest areas where animal crossings are common.
Such incidents highlight the importance of speed enforcement and traffic enforcement. On October 30, 2023, the police in Niegripp carried out speed measurements. 50 vehicles were checked and two speeding violations were detected. The biggest violation was 48 km/h, even though the maximum speed limit was only 30 km/h. This was on polizei.sachsen-anhalt.de documented.
Burglaries in castles and security measures
But it's not just road safety that's a current issue. Reports of break-ins in the region continue to emerge. In October 2023, a socio-cultural center in Burg was the target of a break-in in which the perpetrators climbed over a fence. A wooden table and a pane of glass were damaged and a bicycle shed was forced open. The total damage is around 1,000 euros. Information about the perpetrators is also requested to the Jerichower Land police station on 03921/920-0.
In order to inform citizens about burglary protection, the police are organizing a day of action on the market square in Genthin on June 24, 2025. Consultations on mechanical and electronic burglary protection are offered from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Questions about victim protection and police matters can also be asked there. A step that may help prevent future break-ins and provide greater security for residents.
