Police are looking for witnesses for accidents and fraud cases in the region

In the region, there are currently several worrying incidents that attract the attention of the police's attention. The focus is on an accident between a tractor -trailer and a VW Golf, a brazen cable theft at the train station and a shocking fraud around a wrong police call. An accident in which a woman was approached by a Mercedes also raises questions and asks witnesses for help.

A significant development occurred a few days ago on the A45 near Gambach. On September 4, 2024, around 3 p.m., there was a collision between a tractor-trailer from the Main-Spessart district and a VW Golf, which was directed by a 47-year-old woman from Hanau. The driver changed lanes on the right lane, while the truck driver just overtook another truck. This led to a collision in which the Golf skidded and crashed into the middle protection plank. Despite the property damage of 17,000 euros, the woman was not injured, which should be evaluated positively in view of the circumstances.

Another incident that alarmed is the theft of 350 meters control cable, which took place between 3rd and 4th September 2024 at the Bleichenbach train station. The perpetrators took advantage of the absence of the trains and grabbed while the cables were stored for the renovation of rail traffic. The police are now asking for help and asks for witnesses who may have noticed suspicious activities. Equal information can be accepted on the telephone number of the Büdinger police station.

A fraud that occurred on the same day in the Lahn-Dill district is particularly shocking. A 61-year-old woman received a call from a crying person who pretended to be her daughter. The caller presented the situation to be extremely critical and made the woman believe that her daughter was involved in a fatal traffic accident. In order to free her daughter from accommodation in custody, she was asked for a deposit of over 36,000 euros. In her despair, the woman was ready to hand over a gold bar. Only when she was on the way back and reached her real daughter did the fraud became apparent. The description of the man who accepted the gold bar could provide information about his identity, so that everyone who has information is asked to report to the police.
