Person locates pet canine, ends up detained by authorities
In an unusual turn of events, a 52-year-old Kosovar national was arrested at the Weil am Rhein - Palmrain Bridge border crossing on September 3, 2025. The arrest was a result of an outstanding arrest warrant due to a conviction for fraud in the spring of 2025.
According to news aktuell, the court sentenced the man to a fine, which he failed to pay. Consequently, he also failed to serve the substitute custodial sentence, leading to the issuance of the arrest warrant. As he could not pay the court debt of 1,500 euros on the spot, he was taken into custody.
Interestingly, the man contacted the deployment forces, stating he was searching for his escaped dog. Fortunately, his dog was later found and handed over to animal welfare.
The Federal Police Inspectorate Weil am Rhein, the agency responsible for the man's arrest, can be contacted at Friedrich Blaschke. His contact details include a phone number (+49 7628 8059 1011), email ([email protected]), and website (www.polizei.bund.de). The Inspectorate also has a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/bpol_bw) for updates and news.
The identity of the leader of the Federal Police supervision in Weil am Rhein, who was involved in this incident, was not specified in the provided search results.
It is a reminder for everyone to fulfil their legal obligations promptly to avoid such situations. The Federal Police Inspectorate Weil am Rhein continues to work diligently to maintain law and order at the border crossings.
