Marburg police hunt black Audi after two hit-and-runs and a theft
Police in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district are investigating two separate hit-and-run incidents and a theft from a construction site. The events took place over three days, with authorities now appealing for witnesses to come forward. A black Audi, linked to one of the collisions, remains a key focus of the search.
The first incident occurred on Monday, March 16, 2026, between 5:10 PM and 5:40 PM on Hospitalstraße in Biedenkopf. An Opel Astra was sideswiped by an unknown vehicle, which fled the scene without stopping.
Less than a day later, on **Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at around 6:15 AM**, a **black Audi** struck a **gray Audi A6** on **Schelde-Lahn-Straße in Hommertshausen**. The impact damaged the A6's side mirror before the black Audi drove off. Police later confirmed the suspect vehicle was missing its **left side mirror**. Between **Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 4:00 PM** and **Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 7:00 AM**, thieves targeted a construction site in **Wommelshausen**. A **vibrating plate**, valued at over **€4,000**, was stolen during this timeframe. Authorities have yet to release broader statistics on similar incidents in the region over the past year. They continue to urge anyone with details about the black Audi or the stolen equipment to contact them.
The investigations remain ongoing, with police particularly keen to trace the black Audi involved in the Hommertshausen collision. Anyone with information about the vehicle or the construction site theft is asked to assist. The incidents highlight the need for vigilance on local roads and at work sites.
