Around 7:00 PM on Thursday evening (18.09.2025), two young men gained access to a kindergarten in the Totenhaeuser Weg in Allendorf through a window. Inside the building, they were surprised by a cleaner, who then fled through a window. The cleaner described both men as 18-20 years old, with dark skin and dark, curly hair. Both were dressed in dark clothing. One of them was about 180 cm tall, the other around 190 cm. They did not seem to have taken any loot.
