Imposter Bank Employees Steal Money

Bebra. A 21-year-old woman received a call on Tuesday (23.09.) from an unknown man who claimed to be a bank employee from her bank. By citing various data of the young woman, he managed to convince her to authorize several transfers via app. It was only later, after about 1,700 euros had been unauthorizedly debited, that the young woman realized she had become a victim of brazen fraudsters.

Tips from the police:

ATTENTION: Do not use the redial button for this, but deliberately end the call and dial the number again into the phone.

Use of Unconstitutional Organization Symbols

Rotenburg. The students of three school classes, aged 13 and 14, were on a class trip in the castle park on Wednesday evening (24.09.), around 19:30. Some of them got into a verbal argument with three unknown teenagers. During the argument, the students were allegedly insulted. Moreover, one of the unknown persons showed the so-called "Hitler salute" in their direction before the three teenagers left in an unknown direction.

The three teenagers are described as follows: Suspect 1: approximately 155cm, brown hair, sports pullover with white lettering (dark blue chest/shoulder area, light blue belly area), light blue pants, light shoes

Suspect 2: approximately 165cm, dark brown to black hair, dark/black top with white lettering (small script), short pants, white socks, white shoes

Suspect 3: approximately 165cm, blonde hair with bangs (almost to the nose), dark clothing (top with white lettering on the chest)

A teacher was able to observe the incident and alerted the police. Investigations have been initiated on suspicion of using symbols of unconstitutional organizations. Witnesses who can provide any useful information are asked to contact the police in Rotenburg a. d. Fulda under telephone number 06623/937-0 or any other police station.

Bad Hersfeld. A 74-year-old man parked his e-scooter in front of an Asian bistro on the "Linggplatz" street on Sunday (21.09.), around 20:00. When he returned to his vehicle around 21:30, he discovered that unknown persons had removed and stolen the insurance sticker of the e-scooter during this time.
