Border Arrests: Several individuals with outstanding warrants apprehended

A 45-year-old Latvian national was arrested early Monday morning (September 15, 2025) at the Bietingen-Thayngen border crossing as he was traveling from Switzerland to Germany. The arrest was carried out by the federal police, who discovered four arrest warrants against him during the entry control.

The traveler's previous convictions were for theft in all four cases, for which he was previously convicted by the Amtsgericht Bremerhaven. The public prosecutor's office in Bremen had been seeking the traveler after the court withdrew his probation in two cases and he failed to appear for sentencing in another.

The man's origin was Switzerland, and his destination was Germany. The arrest took place at the Bundes Police Inspection Konstanz, although the head of the Bundespolizeiinspektion Konstanz is not explicitly named in the available search results.

The man will serve his sentence in the Konstanz prison, with a total sentence of nearly two years. The federal police took the man into custody, and it is unclear at this time whether he will contest the charges against him.

This arrest serves as a reminder for individuals with outstanding fines or legal obligations to address them promptly to avoid potential complications while traveling. It is always important to comply with the laws of the land, especially when crossing international borders.
