Cable thieves plunder wind turbine: 15,000 euros in damage in Mücheln!
In Mücheln, in the Geiseltal, unknown perpetrators were up to mischief and gained access to a wind turbine. Several cables were cut and stolen, resulting in an estimated total damage of around 10,000 to 15,000 euros, as HalleLife reports. Cable theft is a growing problem in Germany, primarily because of the high prices for non-ferrous metals on the global market, which attract perpetrators. Power lines and ground cables are particularly popular targets because they are often easily accessible and pose a high risk to perpetrators.
However, despite occasional arrests and measures against cable theft, the problem persists. In the past, the economic damage was enormous, for example in an incident that cost Deutsche Bahn around 14 million euros in 2015, as Bussgeldkatalog confirms. Such theft not only results in significant losses, but can also have devastating consequences for infrastructure, including train cancellations and traffic problems.
Incident with soft air weapon in Braunsbedra
Another incident occurred on Tuesday evening in Braunsbedra. An 18-year-old was woken up by a loud bang as a window broke. Looking outside, he saw four unknown people quickly leaving. As he chased them, he was shot at with an airsoft gun and also injured. This incident brought the police to the scene, who have now launched an investigation into property damage and grievous bodily harm. In addition, those involved are also being investigated for violations of the weapons law, as HalleLife reports.
In this context, the new cannabis law becomes more relevant. While possession of up to 25g of cannabis outside the home is permitted for people aged 18 and over, cultivation, production and trading is subject to strict regulations. Any violations related to cannabis could lead to unreliability under weapons law, which means that the handling of weapons and ammunition is pushed into the background when personal suitability is in question, as RA COF explains. The new regulations bring some relief, but also uncertainty. In particular, the criminal consequences and the effectiveness in shared apartments remain unclear.
Cannabis discoveries in Petersberg
Another topic currently reported in the news concerns the discovery of cannabis plants in Petersberg. A total of twelve cannabis plants and vegetables were found on an uninhabited property that the police checked based on a witness tip. Some plants grew up to three meters high. Since no one could be found, an investigation into the unauthorized handling of narcotics was initiated. The new cannabis law becomes an important aspect here, as there are clear regulations on cultivation, but still contains many legal gray areas.
Recent incidents in the region show how important it is to keep your eyes open and closely follow local events. Whether it's cable theft, assaults or dealing with cannabis - there is a lot to consider and the police remain active in all cases. Citizens are called upon to report suspicious situations and contribute to the safety of their surroundings.
