Driver flees after accident – ​​investigation into drunkenness is ongoing!

A current case is causing a stir in Cologne, which not only impresses with its brazen circumstances, but also raises legal questions. The police in the Salzland district recently reported an unauthorized hit-and-run incident that occurred on Börnecker Straße on Tuesday evening. A traffic accident between a moving vehicle and a parked car ended with the person who caused the accident fleeing. Witnesses had informed the police about the collision from the side and were able to describe both the vehicle and the driver. The officers' careful work led to the vehicle being located at the 37-year-old driver's home address, and some vehicle parts were also seized.

A strong odor of breath alcohol surrounded the man, but he stubbornly refused to take a voluntary breath alcohol test. As a result, the public prosecutor ordered an investigation and a blood sample to secure evidence. His driver's license was also confiscated. The investigation in this case is ongoing and raises questions about responsibility and the possible consequences of drunk driving, which is given further relevance by a recent ruling by the Bavarian Supreme Court. This recently decided that for a conviction for endangering road traffic, not only the importance of the property at risk, but also the perception of the perpetrator are crucial, especially when driving while intoxicated after an incident. In this case, the court recommends a more detailed examination of the circumstances and the threatened damage.

But not only this incident ensures conversation. A wheel loader was stolen in Wolmirsleben on Wednesday night.

Unknown perpetrators opened a goal, damaged the wheel of the wheel loader and drove the stolen vehicle towards Altenweddingen. A criminal complaint was also admitted here, and initial search measures have already been initiated. The police have successfully completed the evidence of evidence at the scene of the crime and receives the owner's video material for further evaluation.

Burglary in Gnadau

What happened in Gnadau is another chapter in the series of break-ins plaguing the region. A break-in at a hair salon was reported on Wednesday morning.

The police have started investigating and hope to soon receive information about the perpetrators in order to bring them to justice.
