Federal police catch wanted traffic hooligan in Wedel train station!

In a remarkable incident, federal police arrested a 52-year-old man who was wanted internationally at the train station in Wedel. This happened this morning when a federal police patrol approached a heavily intoxicated passer-by at around 1:10 a.m. With a breath alcohol level of 2.96 per mille, the man was obviously severely impaired.

But the inspection not only revealed his alcoholism; It turned out that the man came from Romania and was wanted there under a European arrest warrant. According to investigators, he is said to have committed traffic offenses in his home country this year and avoided the consequences by fleeing abroad.

European arrest warrant and arrest

The deployment of the federal police shows how important cross-border cooperation is in fighting crime. The arrest warrant was issued from Romania and was aimed at catching the wanted criminal. During the identity check, the highly intoxicated man presented his Romanian documents that confirmed his identity.

After the arrest, the man was brought before the magistrate, who confirmed the need for detention. It is currently being examined whether the accused will be extradited to Romania. The public prosecutor's office in Schleswig is examining the extradition in order to hold the man responsible.

This incident also sheds light on the issues of individual responsibility on the road and how internationally collaborating law enforcement agencies can deal with such cases. The rapid response of the Federal Police, which led to the arrest, shows the effectiveness of the police force in pursuing criminals who attempt to evade their responsibility.

The Federal Police emphasizes that anyone who is wanted internationally cannot be safe, no matter where they are. Law enforcement agencies working closely together make it clear that there are ways to solve even difficult cases.
