On the 28th of June, 2025, the Bärenstein border crossing witnessed a series of incidents involving suspected smuggling and illegal entry. Two Uzbek nationals, aged 32 and 35, were stopped by federal police officers after entering from the Czech Republic. The Uzbek nationals could not provide a valid residence permit for Germany, leading to suspicion of smuggling foreigners and attempted illegal entry.
After police processing, the Uzbek nationals were deported by plane from Munich to their home country. No information was provided about the outcome or charges related to this incident.
Meanwhile, a 50-year-old Czech taxi driver involved in a separate incident at the same border crossing was released on bail of 6,000 Czech crowns (approximately 240 euros). The taxi, which had entered from the Czech Republic, was stopped by federal police officers.
In a related development, a 46-year-old Bulgarian citizen was arrested by the Federal Police Office Chemnitz during the weekend border controls.
