Traffic chaos in Görlitz: Drunk drivers and drug checks shake the region!

In the Görlitz region and the surrounding cities, the police are currently causing a stir with new reports of accidents, crime and the latest manhunt successes. A colorful mix of traffic offenses, thefts and vandalism has characterized the picture of the last few days.

There have been a number of incidents, particularly on the A4 motorway, which indicate driver carelessness. Two truck drivers were caught violating a ban on overtaking. The two Poles, 25 and 49 years old, will be sent fine mail. In addition, a VW Crafter driver had an astonishingly high overload value of 2340 kg recorded during an inspection, which will also be punished with a fine Sächsische.de reported.

Thefts and vandalism

Crime statistics remain no less worrying. A Simson S51 worth 1000 euros was stolen in Kottmar. In Ebersbach-Neugersdorf, too, a Telefunken e-bike worth 600 euros was stolen. What is also not very encouraging is that a house wall in Zittau was smeared with anti-constitutional symbols. The state security agency is investigating here and estimates the property damage at 100 euros.

In another case, a suspect was arrested in Görlitz after he violently broke into a shop. The 37-year-old is now in custody. The police report also points to several other break-ins, including in gazebos in Seifhennersdorf, where electrical appliances and more were stolen, with stolen damages of 500 euros and property damage of 1,200 euros. A BMW F 650 GS motorcycle worth 3,500 euros was stolen in Zittau.

Traffic offenses and alcohol-related violations

Another focus is on drunk drivers. A 76-year-old scooter driver in Zittau was caught with a blood alcohol level of 0.68, while a 64-year-old in Waldhufen had a blood alcohol level of 2.18, which led to his driving license being immediately revoked. The speed controls in Bad Muskau were not without violations and therefore without consequences.

As the police report, a 30-year-old Polish driver was checked on the Görlitz city bridge without a driver's license. A rapid drug test indicated drug use, which led to further charges. In June, the Nuremberg district court had already imposed a fine of 750 euros on him for theft, but he still has two weeks to pay it before he faces a substitute prison sentence.

Overall, the situation in the region remains tense and the police are called upon to ensure security on the streets and in the cities. The number of traffic controls will also continue to increase in order to put a stop to the numerous violations.

Local police remain active and warn citizens to be cautious and act promptly on suspicious activities to strengthen community safety. Further details and associations can be found in the police reports at Sächsische.de and News.de. Despite these challenges, it is important to focus on the positive development of the community and to look after each other.
