Florstadt: Burglaries on Saturday evening
After failing to break into the window of a single-family house in Waldstraße in Nieder-Florstadt between 20:00 and 21:30 on Saturday evening (27.09.2025), the burglars entered through the front door. The perpetrators searched the entire house and made off with a small safe containing figurines. Between 18:45 and 22:15, unknown individuals gained access to a single-family house in Wilhelm-Alles-Ring in Ober-Florstadt via a balcony door on the first floor. They also searched all the rooms and stole a wallet. The Friedberg Criminal Police are asking for witnesses who may have seen suspicious persons or vehicles in both cases to contact them at 06031 6010.
Nidda: Distracted by tricksters
On Thursday afternoon (25.09.2025) around 17:00, a woman and a teenager entered a store in Bismarckstraße in Nidda. They claimed they wanted to buy something but could only pay with a 200 EUR note.

The woman is described as being 30-40 years old, about 160-165 cm tall, with straight black hair tied back in the middle, and a darker complexion.
