Police arrest a 23-year-old in Magdeburg over a one-week duration jail
The man turned himself in on 13 November but still had to start his week-long arrest.
Police arrested a 23-year-old man in Magdeburg after he told officers at the main railway station he was wanted.
On Friday, 13 November 2026, at 19:10, a young man approached a Bundespolice patrol at Magdeburg Central Station and said he would be sought. Officers checked his identity, took him to Bundespolice facilities nearby, and confirmed an arrest warrant against him.
The warrant was linked to a previous conviction for property damage. An Amtsgericht in Leipzig sentenced the man to a youth detention period. However, he did not report to serve the “duration arrest” when called.
After the necessary steps were completed, officers from the state police took the wanted man into custody in the central police holding facility. The following day, he was transferred to a youth detention institution, where he began the one-week duration arrest.
The case concerns the execution of the existing arrest warrant, with the man serving his sentence in custody.
