The last 24 hours have brought disturbing reports of brutal criminal incidents across the country. The most serious occurred in Sosnowiec, where police officers detained two men suspected of murdering a 60-year-old man. The victim's body was found with numerous injuries, indicating exceptional brutality by the perpetrators. Among those detained is a young person, fitting into a broader trend of rising aggression among teenagers. Pre-trial detention was also applied to a 16-year-old from Warsaw. The boy threatened his peers with death, and his interests included profiles of mass murderers. Police intervention occurred after reports from terrified students, which likely prevented a tragedy at the educational facility. According to statistics from the National Police Headquarters for 2020–2024, despite an overall decrease in thefts, the brutality of crimes against life and health committed by juveniles is increasing.

The detained 29-year-old man faces a long prison sentence. Similar interventions took place in Germany, near Stendal, where significant amounts of drugs were found in a 19-year-old's car, indicating the activity of cross-border criminal groups. In Tychy, a dramatic assault on police officers occurred. An aggressive man, after previously threatening his father, attacked the officers with gas and then attempted to escape across building roofs. He was subdued and charged with active assault on officers. Meanwhile, in Lubin, a 60-year-old man was arrested for physically and psychologically abusing his elderly parents over an extended period. These numerous incidents are prompting experts to discuss systemic solutions regarding psychological support and early prevention of aggression among youth. „Błyskawiczna reakcja funkcjonariuszy pozwoliła na szybkie wyeliminowanie zagrożenia i zabezpieczenie dowodów w tak drastycznych sprawach.” (The swift reaction of the officers allowed for the rapid elimination of the threat and securing of evidence in such drastic cases.) — Police Spokesperson Disturbing information also comes from Wołów, where a police officer faced charges of a sexual nature.
