Border controls in Waidhaus: detention for those who travel and shoplifter!

drama on the border! In Waidhaus, where the federal police just enjoyed calm, the officials struck last weekend (November 2 - 3rd)! Two travelers were arrested on the A6 during border controls, and their trip ended abruptly in the cell. An arrest warrant and a lack of residence permit led to immediate delivery to the Weiden correctional facility and the detention center according to Hof.

The first arrest concerned a 31-year-old Algerian who was on the way to Paris with an expired visa. Despite their persistence to continue their journey, the federal police were adamant. She will now be waiting for her return flight to Algeria in the Hof deportation. But that wasn't all! In the night of Sunday, the police arrested a 41-year-old Bulgarian who had been looking for theft for four years. He had stolen in a Nuremberg drugstore perfume worth 70 euros and then fled abroad. Now he has to serve the compensation sentence in the Weiden correctional facility.

The punishments are hard!

The numbers speak for themselves: In Germany thieves threaten up to five years, in severe cases even up to ten years! In 2022 there were around 1.8 million thefts in Germany, an alarming increase of 20% compared to the previous year. The clarification rate varies greatly: almost 90% of the cases are informed of shop theft, while it is only 7.9% when the money is steels. So the federal police stay vigilant and do everything possible to combat crime at the borders!
