Security in the districts has been a topic in the public public in the past few months. An incident that took place on August 10 once again started the concerned citizens and prompted the police to search for witnesses.

The incident in the Olleroh forest park

On Saturday afternoon, around 3:15 p.m., a 15-year-old cyclist was victims of a predatory extortion in the Olleroh forest park, near Altenrathstraße. The adolescent was threatened by a stranger with a stick on a forest path who was ready to force him to publish his bike and a small amount.
