Horror in Oberneuland: 160 cars with slashed tires!
On the night of Tuesday, September 16, 2025, more than 160 cars were damaged with slashed tires in the Oberneuland district of Bremen. Police are investigating and report that the perpetrators were active between midnight and 6 a.m. Tow trucks were arriving every minute in the affected settlement on Tuesday afternoon, as many vehicles were no longer drivable due to the damage. One resident described the situation in her neighborhood as particularly worrying because it is a family residential area.
The affected drivers are now faced with a big problem: the insurance won't cover the damage, and so a mother from the neighborhood has to replace the expensive tires herself. A set of new tires costs up to 750 euros each. Her son is severely affected by the situation because she now has to organize her everyday life without a car. What was noticeable was that various car brands suffered, including Audi, VW and Mercedes, but electric cars were not spared either.
Previous incidents fuel uncertainty
This act of vandalism is strongly reminiscent of a similar incident in May in Schwachhausen, in which activists damaged the tires of up to 40 SUVs. Even then, the police were quickly on site and residents filed a collective report. An affected resident from Oberneuland has now contacted several workshops to have his damaged tires repaired. In addition, another resident reported that cars on her street had been damaged in the past, including side mirrors being torn off.
Because busy streets are often safer, it is recommended to use a garage at night if it is available. This could help prevent vandalism such as punctured tires. It is also a misconception that insurance companies only pay if all four tires are damaged. In fact, partial lice cases are also covered, as pkw.de explains. Other prevention measures include parking in places where vandals are not likely to be observed and limiting the circle of possible perpetrators in the event of repeated incidents.
The events in Oberneuland clearly show that vandalism is an unpleasant reality for many drivers. The residents are visibly unsettled and hope that the incidents will be clarified as quickly as possible by the police, who have not yet had any information about the perpetrators.
