Drunk drivers and criminal machinations shake Leipzig!

Drunk drivers and criminal machinations shake Leipzig!

On June 6, 2025, the police in Saxony reported several serious incidents in Markkleeberg, Leipzig and the surrounding area, in which alcohol and drugs played a central role.

In an incident in Markkleeberg, a 26-year-old Ukrainian driver was stopped with a breath alcohol value of 2.48 per thousand on June 5 at 8:35 p.m. He was traveling with a VW Jetta advertised for the forced stamp and drove in striking snake lines. Witnesses followed the vehicle and informed the police, who ordered blood sampling. Investigations into traffic in traffic and violation of the compulsory insurance law are now being initiated against the driver. According to Section 316 of the Criminal Code, leading a vehicle is a serious offense in such a state that can be punished with money or prison terms, as well as § 315c StGB, which describes the risk of road traffic by alcoholic drivers who not only put themselves in danger, but also others.

accident and driver escape

Also on June 5, an accident occurred in Leipzig-Stötteritz, in which a 40-year-old driver without a driver's license touched an Opel and then removed from the scene of the accident. The man had an alcohol content of 0.4 per thousand and a positive drug test on cannabis and amphetamines. Investigations were also initiated by the accident due to the risk of road traffic, driving without a driver's license and unauthorized removal.

Another traumatic event occurred in Borsdorf. A 34-year-old driver was caught by the police because he was traveling at 104 km/h at a permitted 70 km/h. His breath alcohol test resulted in 0.9 per thousand, which also exceeds the limits of the legal inability to drive. He now has to adapt to legal consequences and the loss of his driver's license, as Anwalt.de emphasizes.

theft and arson

The police also received reports on the theft of a black Jeep Grand Cherokee in the Leipzig district of Burghausen-Rückmarsdorf. The value of the vehicle is around 30,000 euros, whereby a striking child seat with Star Wars print is to be taken into account, especially in the investigation.

Another incident that attracted the civil servants' attention was a vehicle fire in Grimma. Unknown perpetrators hit the side window of a VW Golf from June 5th to June 6th and set fire to the vehicle. The property damage amounts to around 2,000 euros. The fire brigade was able to delete the fire quickly, but the investigation into arson was initiated to grasp the perpetrators.

These incidents illustrate the significant legal and personal consequences associated with driving under the influence of alcohol. According to the lawyer.de, such offenses can not only lead to criminal consequences, but also have long -term effects on the driving license, the job and the financial situation of a driver. Therefore, every driver should be aware of the risks - including the case of "residual alcohol", which is often underestimated according to party nights.
