Around 07:15 AM, a kiosk on Groß-Hasenbach-Straße in Offenbach was the target of a masked burglar who forced his way into the premises. He was likely after cash and cigarettes worth around a thousand euros. As he fled with the loot, two witnesses noticed the situation and apprehended the burglar in the Bismarckstraße area. The burglar resisted using pepper spray, injuring one witness in the process. The burglar also appeared to be injured in the face but continued his escape. He discarded his loot at the scene.

The suspect is approximately 170 cm tall, was wearing black clothing and white sports shoes with three dark stripes each.
