Raid in Braunschweig: 1,221 vehicles checked-shock cases unveiled!

On Tuesday, October 29, 2024, over 250 police forces from the Braunschweig police department carried out extensive checks in several cities, including Braunschweig, Gifhorn and Wolfsburg. The aim of this large -scale action was to prevent serious traffic accidents and the sensitization of the drivers to potential dangers. A total of 1,221 vehicles were inspected at eight checkpoints, with defects that led to the stop of the onward journey in 448 cases.

A incident was particularly shocking in Braunschweig, where a 61-year-old truck driver was stopped with 2.9 per thousand alcohol in the blood and an unsettled load. Another remarkable case occurred in Seesen when a 36-year-old in front of the control point threw a bag with around one kilogram of marijuana out of the car and fled on foot. He was caught up and arrested by the emergency services. Police Vice President Uwe Lange emphasized the importance of such controls for traffic safety and the prevention of accidents.
