Alfa Romeo in Görlitz: 2000 euros in damage due to night theft!
On September 13, 2025, the Görlitz region is occupied by a theft on Gartenstrasse. Unknown perpetrators stole a front sensor from an Alfa Romeo on the night of Thursday to Friday. To carry out the theft, they came into play with a cutting tool. The theft damage is estimated at around 2,000 euros, while the property damage is estimated at around 500 euros Sächsische reported.
But it's not just the local crime that's causing a stir. A major traffic stop made additional headlines this week. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Görlitz traffic police station carried out a large-scale check along Autobahn 4. This measure was part of an initiative by the European Occupational Safety and Health Authority (ELA) and mobilized all five Saxon traffic police inspections. Officials from the federal states of Brandenburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia were also there, along with a large number of experts from abroad.
Traffic control results
A total of 157 commercial freight transport vehicles were examined during the inspection, which was also attended by observers from Bulgaria, Poland, Austria and the Czech Republic. There were complaints in 89 cases, which shows that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the area of traffic monitoring. What was particularly noticeable was that 23 truck drivers were not allowed to continue their journeys due to defects found.
The complaints included a variety of violations of the Driving Personnel Act, including:
- 49 Verstöße gegen das Fahrpersonalgesetz
- 5 Verstöße im Bereich Gefahrgut
- 16 technische Mängel
- 4 Fälle von Überladung
A total of 75 administrative offense reports were filed, and the total security deposits amount to around 19,860 euros. Measures to improve road safety are urgently needed, as the overall crime statistics in Germany are characterized by a complex picture. According to Wikipedia), crime figures have been declining since the early 1990s, and police crime statistics (PKS) show a downward trend for many crimes.
While the PKS primarily records crimes that have been processed and therefore only reflects part of reality, the decline in violent crimes and theft is clearly visible over the years. In 2023, the incidence of crimes against life fell to 3.7 per 100,000 inhabitants, an encouraging sign that the security situation is improving.
Conclusion
However, the recent incident in Görlitz and the traffic control make it clear that there are still challenges that need to be addressed. The combination of prevention, control and education seems to be the key to an even safer life in the region. Citizens are called upon to be vigilant and support the police in their work - together we can make life in Görlitz safer.
