Renery in Berlin: The police have over 600 illegal races in 2024!

The rapid increase in illegal car racing in Berlin provides an alarm mood. According to current information from BZ Berlin , over 600 investigative procedures for banned motor vehicle races were initiated in 2024-an increase of 4.7 percent compared to the previous year. These numbers were presented by the Senator Iris Spranger, who made it clear that more and more drivers are fleeing police controls. "The suspect acts grossly and ruthlessly," warned the politician, emphasizing the endangerment of other road users. These races take place particularly frequently on the A100 city highway as well as on the feeders A111 and A113.

A dark picture is also available in terms of violent crimes. As Berlin Live , the number of homicides in 2023 has dropped to 77, which corresponds almost 40 less than in the previous year. Nevertheless, the falling educational rate is worried: While almost 90 percent of the cases were informed in 2022, this value is now only 87 percent - the lowest since 2015. This could indicate that perpetrators are increasingly managing to get away with it. Fortunately, the overall registered crimes rose only slightly by 3.2 percent to 536,697.

The police face major challenges in Berlin: in addition to combating frenzy, it must also keep an eye on the increasing theft and rawness offenses. The cooperation between the authorities is reinforced in order to combat these worrying tendencies in both illegal car races and violent crimes.
