2. Search for witnesses after an accident escape in the roundabout – Offenbach am Main
(jm) The police in Offenbach are looking for witnesses after a traffic accident that occurred on Saturday (September 2nd) in the Mainzer Ring/Rumpenheimer Straße roundabout. According to initial findings, an unknown person was driving on Rumpenheimer Straße around 4:40 p.m. and wanted to drive in the roundabout towards Adolf-Kolping-Platz. He apparently disregarded a 53-year-old cyclist who was already driving on the roundabout from the direction of Mainzer Straße and hit him. The car then drove away in the direction of Adolf-Kolping-Platz. The bike suffered damage worth around 600 euros. The car that caused the incident is said to have been a dark sedan with an OF license plate. All that could be said about the driver was that he had short hair. The police station will receive information on 069 8098-5100.
3. Hit and run: collision between car and pedestrian – Langen
(jm) A 21-year-old pedestrian was slightly injured in an accident late on Tuesday afternoon at the intersection of Südliche Ringstrasse and Darmstädter Strasse. The driver didn’t care about the 21-year-old and drove away. According to initial findings, the adolescent was crossing Darmstädter Strasse at a green light at around 5:50 p.m. when a vehicle turned right from the Südliche Ringstrasse towards Egelsbach. The unknown man apparently overlooked the pedestrian in priority, hit his knee and ran over his left foot. The vehicle is said to have been an Audi A6 Avant with an OF license plate. The accident escape investigators, who solve every second accident with injuries, are now asking for information about the driver and his vehicle by calling 06183 91155-0.
4. 81 kilometers per hour too fast: driver expects a three-month driving ban – Autobahn 661 / Egelsbach
(fg) A driver who was traveling on Autobahn 661 in the direction of Egelsbach was clocked at 81 kilometers per hour too fast on Wednesday afternoon; The man can now expect a fine of 700 euros, two points in the central driving license register and a three-month driving ban. Between 12:25 p.m. and 4 p.m., officers from the Langenselbold police motorway station, with the support of the Offenbach traffic inspection, stood at the end of the motorway 661 near Egelsbach and carried out speed measurements. In around three and a half hours, a total of 68 road users were complained about speeding. A speed limit of 70 kilometers per hour applies in the area of the end of the expansion; Eight drivers each face a driving ban, sometimes lasting several months. Serious accidents continue to occur, especially on motorways, with excessive speed often being the cause of accidents. The control therefore shows how important it is to monitor the speed driven in public traffic areas.

1. Preliminary arrest: employee threatened with Taser – Hanau
(jm) Officers from the Hanau II police station temporarily arrested a 53-year-old woman on Wednesday morning after she allegedly threatened several bank employees with a Taser. At around 10 a.m., the 53-year-old from Hanau entered a bank on Lamboystrasse and is said to have threatened the employees and tried to attack an employee with the Taser. When the woman from Hanau ran towards him, the employees were able to overpower her and take away the Taser. The officers who arrived took the lady into custody temporarily. She also had a knife in her handbag. The 53-year-old’s previously withdrawn card – presumably in the ATM – could be a possible trigger for the incident. The arrested woman, who is now being investigated on suspicion of threats, attempted bodily harm and violation of the weapons law, was presented to a specialist clinic following the police measures. Since there were indications that the 53-year-old may be in possession of weapons, searches were carried out in the apartment on Wednesday afternoon. Ultimately, no prohibited weapons were found during the search.
2. Pedestrian was hit and was seriously injured in a hospital – Hanau/Kesselstadt
(fg) On Thursday morning, a traffic accident occurred on Hochstädter Landstrasse in the area of house numbers 30, with a 53-year-old pedestrian suffering serious injuries; the Hanauer immediately went to a hospital. At around 8:30 a.m., a 23-year-old man was driving his red Hyundai i30 on Hochstädter Landstrasse when he lost control of his car and ended up on the sidewalk there. Here the car collided with the passer-by, who was no longer able to avoid it. According to initial investigations, a “microsleep” could have been the cause of the accident. The police are now investigating suspected dangerous interference with road traffic. The Hyundai, which suffered damage of around 2,000 euros, had to be towed away. Witnesses to the traffic accident should contact the police station in Hanau on 06181 100-120.
3. Six injured, numerous damaged vehicles and extensive damage after fire in workshop – Maintal / Dörnigheim
(lei) A fire broke out in a commercial property in the Marie-Curie-Ring on Thursday morning for unknown reasons, in which several people were injured and extensive property damage was caused. The fire brigade, rescue workers and police were called to the local commercial area around 11:30 a.m. and upon arrival discovered that the fire was a car repair shop on the ground floor of a multi-story building. The fire, which had already spread to the building and caused a column of smoke that was visible from afar, was brought under control by the numerous fire department personnel and ultimately completely extinguished. According to initial findings, a vehicle that was placed on a lifting platform in the workshop caught fire for reasons that are still unclear. However, initial attempts to extinguish the fire using fire extinguishers by workshop employees were unable to contain the flames, so the fire gradually spread to the entire workshop and the building. In total, at least eight vehicles were destroyed by flames, both inside and outside the workshop – including a mobile home. According to current information, six people, all male between the ages of 20 and 60 (three workshop employees, two emergency service employees and one fire department employee), suffered smoke inhalation during the fire and had to be treated medically – two of them were incarcerated a hospital. According to preliminary estimates, the damage amounts to at least half a million euros. An adjacent accommodation for refugees had to be evacuated briefly and as a precaution. The criminal police are investigating.
4. Shock call to tough lady: woman collecting money arrested – Maintal
(cb) In Maintal on Tuesday, crooks tried to fraudulently get money and high-quality jewelry from an elderly woman. The fraudsters posed as the 82-year-old woman’s daughter on the phone, who had caused an accident. In the course of the telephone conversation, next to the supposed daughter, a supposed police officer and finally apparently a public prosecutor spoke, who negotiated with the lady about the bail to be paid. The woman from Hanau quickly realized that there were fraudsters on the other end of the phone; The senior citizen had only recently read information and tips about shock calls published by the police. During the phone call, the 82-year-old sought help from neighbors, who in turn informed the police. The criminal police immediately went to the tough lady’s home address. An alleged transfer of money was agreed with the fraudsters. At the agreed time, after handing over an envelope of money to the person suspected of collecting the money, she was arrested on site by police officers. The extensive investigation into their accomplices is still ongoing. The whereabouts of the 17-year-old suspect, who is now facing criminal proceedings on suspicion of fraud, among other things, will be decided on Thursday during a court appearance.
