Neighbor dispute escalates: 18-year-old shoots with toy gun!
Today, October 25, 2025, the police in Aurich have recorded several incidents. These range from neighbor disputes to alcohol and drug-related traffic offenses.
An explosive incident occurred on Brockzeteler Straße, where a dispute broke out between neighbors due to disturbing the peace at around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday morning.

Traffic accidents and drunk drivers
Another incident is causing a stir in traffic in Aurich. A 32-year-old man fell asleep in his car on Wallinghausener Strasse at 2:15 a.m. on Saturday morning. The police found that he had an alcohol level of almost 1.5 per mille and took away his driver's license. A blood sample was taken and he is now facing drink driving charges. Driving under the influence of psychoactive substances is a serious offense in many countries, including Germany. There are strict blood alcohol limits in Germany, and it is not uncommon for alcohol drivers to believe that they are still fit to drive - a fatal mistake, as the data shows Wikipedia describes.
Another example of reckless behavior on the road is the accident involving the driver of a VW Touran who drove over a traffic island at 5:10 p.m. on Friday and then left the scene of the accident without permission. The Wiesmoor police are looking for witnesses who can provide information about this incident. A 39-year-old woman in Hinte was also stopped on Friday evening without a license and under the influence of drugs. A blood sample was taken from her and she was forbidden to continue driving.
The role of alcohol and drugs in traffic
Alcohol and drug driving pose a major risk. Every year, over 1 million traffic fatalities occur worldwide due to alcohol-related accidents. Prevention measures to raise public awareness are urgently needed. The BADS (Association against alcohol and drugs in traffic) is dedicated to this problem through educational work and the promotion of traffic education.
Another example of the extent of the problem is the number of traffic accidents in Germany: According to studies, one in four serious traffic accidents is caused by alcohol. In comparison, the number of unreported cases of driving under the influence of alcohol is between 1:300 and 1:2000, meaning that many people still drive with a high level of alcohol consumption Wikipedia.
In Aurich, the police remain called upon to maintain road safety and protect the population from such dangers. If you witness any incidents or accidents, do not hesitate to contact the police.
