Drug test and shop theft: Zittau in crime focus!

Zittau, Deutschland - What is going on in eastern Germany? A look at the current events in the region shows that both road traffic and in the shops are treated.

On July 1, 2025, a curious incident occurred in Zittau. A 47-year-old Pole was caught in shoplifting when he stole goods worth around 130 euros. After the confrontation with the employees, he tried to flee, but the police were able to grab it quickly. A drug test was positive on amphetamine, which led to recognition treatment and interrogation, as Medienservice.sachsen.de

But that was not the only incident in the region. Also on the same day, the motorway police found several violations of the ban on overtaking on the BAB 4. A total of six road users, including a Macedonian, a German, a Russian and three Poles, had to be asked to pay vigorously for a check between 8:50 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

traffic controls and accidents

Furthermore, there was a drug test on the highway, in which a 40-year-old pole with cannabis in the blood was caught at the wheel of his BMW. His journey ended with a blood sample that was arranged. These incidents show that increased attention is required in road traffic.

On the same day there was also an accident on the BAB 4.. A 76-year-old woman crashed into a warning bake and a tractor-trailer with her Skoda. Fortunately, she was unharmed, but the property damage amounts to around 600 euros. Such incidents are not an isolated case, as the speed controls in Bautzen also show. There, more than 3,000 vehicles were measured there between 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

crime and attempted fraud

A 86-year-old lady in Bischofswerda received a special fright, who was involved in an attempted fraud. It should pay 1,000 euros to receive a profit of 38,000 euros. But an attentive relative informed the police in good time, so that the transfer of money could be prevented. Here it becomes clear how important it is to be careful with such offers.

In addition, two Simson-Mopeds, with a total value of around 5,000 euros, were found on the list of stolen goods in Häslich. The police have already started investigations. This theft is part of the multitude of crimes that unfortunately increase in the region, while the population grows and the feeling of security disappears.
