  1. Stolen rental bike offered for sale: 35-year-old arrested - Offenbach (cb) A rental bike that the owner company reported stolen in June was offered for sale on an internet platform on Friday. An employee of the company from Frankfurt noticed this and consequently informed the police. The deployed officers were able to temporarily arrest the suspected seller in Pfarrstraße (10s house numbers) during a simulated sale of the two-wheeler. The searches ordered by the responsible public prosecutor's office in the suspect's residential and business premises led to the discovery of the advertised bike. This was secured on site and later handed over to the owner company. The Offenbach suspect will now face charges, among other things, of receiving stolen goods. Witnesses with information about the incident are asked to contact the investigators in Dietzenbach at 06074 837-0.
  2. High damage in break-in at furniture store: Kripo seeks witnesses - Dietzenbach (lei) Unknown persons broke into a kitchen furniture store in Alfred-Nobel-Straße over the weekend and stole valuable items. The thieves gained access to the company's storage rooms between Friday, 6:20 PM and Monday, 7 AM, in an unknown manner, where they stole various kitchen appliances and utensils. According to current findings, they are likely to have loaded the loot, estimated at several tens of thousands of euros, into a presumably parked vehicle using a pallet truck and then fled the scene. The criminal police have taken over the investigation and are asking for witnesses to call 069 8098-1234.
  3. Tips requested: Graffiti with pink paint sprayed - Dreieich (cb) The police in Neu-Isenburg are asking for tips in an investigation into criminal damage after unknown persons vandalized a container on the grounds of a school at the address "Am Trauben" (10s house numbers). The perpetrators spray-painted several letters and symbols in pink paint on the school container between Friday, 6:30 PM and Monday, 8:40 AM, causing approximately 800 euros in damage. Witnesses are asked to contact the police at 06102 2902-0.
  4. Allegedly drunk and drugged driver causes high property damage - Langen (me) Four damaged vehicles and several traffic offenses are the result of a traffic accident on Monday evening. According to current findings, a Mini driver was traveling along Bahnstraße at around 7:20 PM and collided with a Ford parked on the left side of the road. Due to the impact, the car spun and collided with a Sprinter on the opposite side of the road. Flying debris also damaged a parked Audi. The total damage is estimated at over 30,000 euros. Since the investigation revealed that the driver was apparently under the influence of alcohol and drugs, the 42-year-old had to accompany the police officers to the police station. He will now have to answer charges, among other things, of endangering road traffic.
  5. Witness search after bike theft at the station - Seligenstadt Unknown thieves stole a "Rockrider mountain bike" along with a neon yellow helmet from a train station between 7 AM and 2 PM on Thursday. The owner had secured his bike and helmet with a combination lock to the bike rack around 7:10 AM. He had fed the lock through the front wheel and frame before locking it to the rack and then took the train to school. The theft was discovered around 2 PM, with the bike still having a luggage carrier and additional reflectors on the spokes. The police were notified and can be reached at 06182 8930-0 on the Seligenstadt police station.
  6. Who painted the doors with swastikas? - Seligenstadt

Multiple swastikas and writings were found on the doors of a school toilet hut in Schulstraße between Friday, 8 PM and Monday morning, 7 AM. The estimated damage is 500 euros, with a pen seemingly used. The state protection department has taken over the investigation and is asking for witnesses to call 069 8098-1234.
