Burglars steal e-cigarettes – police investigate in Halle!

There's been a lot going on in Halle (Saale) in the last few days. The police have to deal with several incidents, including burglaries and traffic accidents. On November 1, 2025, the Neustädter Passage in Halle was targeted by burglars who broke in through a hole in a window. The perpetrators stole disposable e-cigarettes, but the exact amount of damage is still unknown. The officers have already secured extensive evidence and started investigating how the Saxony-Anhalt police reported.

Another worrying event is taking place in the center of Halle Neustadt. Here, three boys offered help to an 84-year-old woman as she carried her shopping bag. The senior citizen gratefully accepted the offer, but a short time later discovered that her wallet, which contained around 300 euros in cash, had been lost. A classic pickpocketing that alerts the population and calls the police into action.

Traffic accidents and the influence of alcohol

On the same Saturday, November 1st, there was also a traffic accident in Merseburg. A 7-year-old child stepped onto the road between parked vehicles and was hit by a car. Fortunately, the child was only slightly injured and was taken to hospital for examination. But the topic of road safety also harbors other dangers: according to an analysis by Catalog of fines Driving under the influence of alcohol is a serious crime that can not only cost you your driver's license, but can also result in significant fines or imprisonment. For example, a level of 0.3 per mille can result in three points in the driving fitness register and possible driving license revocation.

There are several incidents in this context: In Hohenmölsen, a car with two men who were very drunk behaved unusually and ended up in a ditch - both had to have their blood taken. The check that same evening in Naumburg revealed another driver who was behind the wheel with a positive breath alcohol test. According to the police, the driver has now surrendered his driver's license for the time being.

Burglaries and thefts

On November 1st, two garages in Hohenmölsen were broken into and a Simson moped, chainsaws and even a vacuum cleaner were stolen. A criminal activity that questions the safety of local residents. There was also a handbag robbery in Zeitz. An unknown man forcibly took her bag from an 83-year-old woman and fled towards Michaelpark. The bag was later found without any cash, but the perpetrator is still on the run.

In addition, there was some recreational fun that got out of hand: In Zeitz, the police caught two young women who were caught spraying graffiti on a wall of a former discount store. Such incidents show that despite numerous events and a lively community in Halle, crime is not left out at every opportunity.

In summary, both police and citizens are called upon to be vigilant. From burglary to pickpocketing to traffic accidents under the influence of alcohol - the mixtures make it necessary to shed more light on the feeling of security in the region. It remains to be seen how the police will respond to these trends.
