Arrested Over the Weekend: BPOLI LUD

In a series of weekend arrests, the German Federal Police, based in Ludwigsdorf, have detained several Polish citizens for a range of offenses.

The first arrest was made late on Friday evening near the Görlitz train station. A 41-year-old Polish man was taken into custody, and it was discovered that he had an arrest warrant against him from the Prosecutor's Office in Saarbrücken, dating back almost exactly eight years. The man had gone unnoticed until now. Upon his arrest, he began serving his 18-day remaining prison sentence, imposed by the Saarbrücken Local Court for a particularly serious case of theft.

On Saturday, a 32-year-old Polish citizen was apprehended by federal police officers at Görlitz station around 16:00. The man was found to have an outstanding 60 euro fine and had driven his Polish BMW into Germany despite a multi-month driving ban and a driving ban in Germany. He was also reported for suspected illegal entry and driving without a license. After settling a debt of 2,262.60 euros with the Nördlingen Regional Court for a conviction for driving under the influence, he was arrested and handcuffed.

The following day, three individuals were detained during temporarily reinstated border controls at the Neiße rest area. Two Polish nationals, aged 24 and 27, and a Ukrainian, age 32, were taken into custody. The 24-year-old Polish national had an outstanding bill of 1,050 euros with the Bavarian State Justice Administration for property damage. The 27-year-old Polish national settled his own debt with the Saarbrücken court cashier for theft. The circumstances surrounding the Ukrainian's arrest were not immediately disclosed.

Furthermore, a Mercedes 300 was stopped on the A4 by a mobile patrol, and the driver had an arrest warrant against him from the Frankfurt am Main Regional Court for violating the Residence Act. The Görlitz immigration authority will handle the deportation of the Polish citizen after he serves his sentence. It was also revealed that the man lacked the 150 euros to pay the fine and had his right to enter and reside in Germany revoked by the Munich immigration authority, effective summer 2023.

An investigation was launched against the Polish citizen for suspected violation of the Freedom of Movement Act. The original content of this report is from Bundespolizeiinspektion Ludwigsdorf, transmitted via news aktuell.

The weekend arrests were connected to a police inspectorate in Munich, specifically involving a blockade and protest action on September 9, 2025, where six people were taken into police custody after refusing to end a street blockade.
