Wanted man at the German border – prison sentence for car escape!
In the last few days, the federal police and the controls at the German borders have caused a lot of excitement. A passionate driver was on a trip to Germany when he ran into an unexpected situation. On Monday, a 37-year-old Pole was arrested on the border with Germany in Pomellen. He was wanted for assault and wanted to drive his car to Germany. The check took place on Autobahn 11, which leads from Stettin to Berlin, reports Northern Courier.
This man wasn't just passing through; He had a summons from the Osnabrück public prosecutor's office in Lower Saxony because a criminal order had already been issued against him. Deeply in trouble, he was unable to pay the costs of over 2,000 euros and was then taken to prison in Neustrelitz to serve his sentence of around one and a half months. He had to leave his car at the border while his brother drove the vehicle back to Poland.
The situation at the borders
The case of the wanted man in Pomellen illustrates the current challenges facing the federal police. There have been increased controls at the German borders since October 2023, which were introduced by the Federal Police. During this period, a total of 5,048 people were arrested with arrest warrants t online reported. Stationary controls take place especially at the borders with Poland, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
A total of an impressive 31,205 people were registered and listed in search systems. But the number of unreported cases should not be underestimated either: 36,161 unauthorized entries of migrants were detected and 7,401 people were smuggled across the border. The police forces also arrested 824 suspected smugglers and were able to confiscate drugs and weapons in 3,527 cases. Such developments highlight how important these controls are in the context of national security.
Growing challenges
The systematic controls that have been in effect at all German national borders since September 2024 are already showing initial results. In the first 140 days, more than 22,000 unauthorized entries were detected, and many undocumented people had to be turned away or deported. The pressure on migrant flows is increasing, with a clear goal in mind: to limit irregular migration daily news.
In summary, it can be said that border controls not only contribute to security, but also to maintaining order in times of increasing migration trends. The events in Pomellen are a small but succinct tongue-in-cheek reference to the major challenge facing the authorities. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops further.
