Intensive offender threatened – police take him to prison despite refusal

Intensive offender threatened – police take him to prison despite refusal

An incident is causing a stir in Neubrandenburg: a 35-year-old Moroccan is in prison after threatening police officers and an opponent. As the Northern Courier Reportedly, the prosecutor's office was asked but declined to request an arrest warrant. The alleged act was merely classified as a threat or coercion, which further cemented the situation.

On Thursday afternoon, passers-by alerted the police when they observed the 35-year-old threatening a 33-year-old man with a sharp object in the area of ​​the Yuri Gagarin Ring. When the officers arrived, the suspect violently protested against the check and insulted the police officers, even threatening them with death. The 33-year-old suffered minor injuries in this encounter.

History of the perpetrator

What many people don't know: The 35-year-old is considered an intensive offender and has often had to deal with the police in Neubrandenburg under a different identity, let alone at a younger age. His criminal behavior has already left negative traces in other crimes, and not without reason, because violent crimes as such have a significant impact on people's sense of security in our society. According to the Statista Violent crimes in Germany recently rose to around 217,000 cases, the highest number since 2007. These numbers make it clear that the actions of people like our case study are not isolated, but rather represent part of a larger problem.

In a comparable case, an 18-year-old intensive offender from Sierra Leone was arrested in Neubrandenburg in November 2024. He committed a series of crimes and, thanks to the police investigation, is already in custody. In the month of October 2024, he had committed at least 23 crimes in Neubrandenburg, including predatory thefts and sexual harassment, underlining concerns about young perpetrators. This also shows that a dramatic increase in acts of violence is a serious social problem.

The social relevance

Another aspect of the topic is social perception. According to surveys, 94 percent of Germans consider violence against people from politics, the police and emergency services to be a major problem. The causes are diverse and range from economic uncertainties to social pressures - factors that are particularly relevant at the current time. The Muritzer report a large number of other incidents that are fueling the debate about security in German cities, which is also reflected in daily police work.

These incidents are an expression of an increasingly tense situation in Neubrandenburg and beyond. The question of how to deal with serious offenders and at the same time take the population's security fears seriously will have to continue to concern us. It remains to be hoped that the judiciary will take appropriate measures to ensure that such cases will be fewer in the future.
