Knife find on the border: 44-year-old is stopped by the federal police

On Sunday morning, a 44-year-old man was taken up by the federal police at the motorway control center near Görlitz when he tried to enter with a forbidden jumping knife in his pocket in Germany. The German, who lives in the Enzkreis district, traveled with a coach. After ensuring the knife, he continued his journey, but without the dangerous object that now remains in the hands of the authorities. Michael Engler, spokesman for the Federal Police Inspection Ludwigsdorf, confirmed that a procedure was initiated against the man in accordance with the Weapons Act, which could also result in a fine.

However, the arrests at the border crossings are not limited to this incident. Another sensational the arrest of a 28-year-old Poland caused the same day. The man was confronted with two arrest warrants that had been issued by the public prosecutors in Coburg and Leipzig. The first arrest warrant came from Bavaria and had been issued on enforcement officers because of an assault. He still had a fine of 3,000 euros that led to his arrest. The second arrest warrant was fresh and affected bodily harm, with a penalty of 1,800 euros or a correspondingly long imprisonment.

financial worries lead to imprisonment

In a further arrest, a 54-year-old Pole went to prison on Saturday. He, too, could not fulfill the financial requirements of escaping an arrest warrant from the Neubrandenburg public prosecutor. In addition, further criminal proceedings were pending for intentional drunkenness in traffic, which provided 1,200 euros as a punishment. The fact that the new arrest warrants had also been issued this year shows how serious the situation is.

In the middle of these arrests, however, there was also gratifying news. A 38-year-old Belarusse, which was found on Saturday during a control point on the A4, was able to pay his debts of 180 euros, which had been imposed on him by the Sinsheim District Court. Thanks to this payment, he was able to continue his trip freely.

Another incident occurred when two Polish travelers were arrested on Sunday. The 25-year-old would theoretically be able to pay an amount of 900 euros to avoid a prison sentence. He had been imposed on the Narcotics Act due to an offense, but he did not succeed. In contrast, it worked for the 43-year-old traveler, who was able to remedy an arrest warrant against him with a payment of 230 euros. This had been issued due to incorrect insurance on oaths, whereby the payment was quickly processed by the visa card.

Overall, it can be seen that the federal police at the border control points not only pay attention to compliance with the weapons law, but also to fulfill financial requirements for criminal convictions. The number of arrests based on open invoices and arrest warrants illustrates the strict control and the measures that are taken to maintain law and order at the borders.
