A 25-year-old e-scooter rider was stopped in Lüneburg and found to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol, while another rider tested positive for THC, police said. The stops happened overnight. A 18-year-old e-scooter driver was checked in the Goseburg area, tested positive for THC, and had a blood sample taken. His onward travel was banned and an investigation was launched. Shortly afterwards, a second e-scooter rider was noticed by officers. A 25-year-old was also found to be affected, a blood sample was taken, and criminal proceedings were initiated. Police also report a hit-and-run after a crash in the night. A 29-year-old driver on the K 46 between Wittorf and Bardowick hit an earth mound at a new roundabout and then left the scene without meeting obligations. During the subsequent search, officers found the driver. He was found to be affected, and a blood sample was taken. Elsewhere, a suspected technical defect sparked a fire at a shed. In the night to Saturday, a shed in the Soltauer Straße area caught fire in connection with stored electrical equipment. Firefighters put out the blaze. Damage is currently estimated at about 2,000 euros. A vehicle fire also kept emergency crews busy on Sunday morning. A car on the B4 between Lüneburg and Häcklingen burned out completely for unknown reasons. All five occupants escaped in time and were not injured. After firefighters extinguished the vehicle in full burn, officers reported significant damage to the roadway. Police add more investigations from the weekend, including traffic offences caused by icy roads, fights at events around a Schützenhalle in Bardowick and areas in Lüneburg near Am Stintmarkt and the adjacent Christmas market, and several property crimes. In Lüchow, officers are looking for witnesses after a purse was stolen from a customer’s hand-held bag in an Aldi store between 11:30 and 12:30. The money amount was about 400 euros, and the bag contained a German identity card, three bank cards and a health insurance card. Police also opened an investigation after a vehicle crash in the Schmiedestraße area, when an unknown driver touched an otherwise properly parked car and drove away, leaving damage. In Hitzacker, a crash left one person injured after a driver braked hard and lost control, hitting a tree. Investigations are ongoing, including the cases involving drug-affected e-scooter riders, the hit-and-run driver, the car fire on the B4, and theft and traffic offence proceedings.
