Uelzen: more addicts committed nine thefts - court judges hard

A 43-year-old man has to answer for a number of thefts in Uelzen, which ultimately led to a conviction with a prison sentence of three years. This decision was made on Wednesday in the Uelzen District Court, where a meticulous list of the allegations and an in -depth assessment of the psychological constitution of the accused took place.

The public prosecutor accused the man of either committed or tried nine times. In his long list of violations in various shops, an alarming pattern showed that indicates a difficult dependence on drugs.

The deeds in numbers

In particular, there were eight attempted or successful thefts in Uelzen, with several of these incidents even taking place on the same day. This disturbing series was only exceeded by a particularly lucrative slump in a fashion business that took place about three weeks earlier, in which the accused used the entrance door using a gully cover and expensive clothing with a total value of around 500 euros. However, his escape was only hindered by the custody of one of the jackets in his own bike, which finally led to his arrest.

The court heard details about the accused's life path. He was born in Soltau and had already had a long list of criminal records that ranged from theft to violent offenses. Judge Rainer Thomsen emphasized that the man had continuously got into legal difficulties since 2008, which underlined the severity of his crimes.

A psychiatric expertise gave information about the background of his actions and drew a picture of a man who grew up in a violent environment. He had started to consume drugs early on, which resulted in a difficult dependency. The psychiatrist, who was present in the proceedings, said that the accused has consumed a remarkable amount of dangerous substances, including cocaine and heroin since he was eleven. The physical damage that he bought, such as missing teeth and various abscesses, speak for themselves.

A crucial moment in his life was the tragic death of his girlfriend, who plunged him into a deep personal crisis and further tightened his drug addiction. The accused man confessed to his deeds and was emotionally touched when he spoke about his past and struggle with addiction.

judgment and follow

Richter Thomsen followed the application of the public prosecutor and imposed a total inclusion of three years and the order for accommodation in a withdrawal institution. This decision was made not only because of the severity of the deeds, but also with a view to the possibility of rehabilitation. The judge emphasized that the therapy in the withdrawal institution for the defendant is seen as a "only chance" to return to an orderly life.
