Cyclist Tries To Evade Görlitz Border Check via Motorway, Is Arrested

Police say his detention rests on a 2017 entry ban plus a 2021 arrest warrant.

Overview

  • Bundespolizei intercepted a 38-year-old Polish national who tried to ride past the Görlitz checkpoint over the motorway heavy-vehicle lane toward the An der Neiße rest area around 23:00.
  • He had no identification, prompting checks that showed the Ausländerbehörde withdrew his right to enter Germany in 2017, valid through 2028, due to prior offenses including theft.
  • Records also showed an outstanding arrest warrant dating to May 2021.
  • Officers reported finding a balaclava, a flashlight, a crowbar, and an angle grinder in his luggage, items police describe as burglary tools.
  • He was taken into custody and placed in a correctional facility (JVA), with no court outcome reported at this time.
