Weekly report from May 12 to 18, 2025

The city police recorded 27 operations due to disturbances of the peace, five of which were in the commercial sector. The number of disturbances of the peace is therefore on the rise again.

The city police had to organize assistance for 18 helpless people. One person was admitted to the psychiatric ward of the Sana hospital due to mental distress.

A man reported as helpless was escorted home by a patrol because he had staggered onto the road several times, disoriented and unable to walk.

Another man reported as helpless was so drunk that he could not even manage to straighten his pants, which had slipped down. As he was no longer responsive, an ambulance took him to a clinic.

The traffic police recorded a total of 115 speeding vehicles at 15 measuring points and initiated appropriate proceedings.

A warning or fine was issued to 3,583 vehicles for parking violations or other traffic violations in stationary traffic.

The city police recorded 61 requests from the registration office to de-stamp uninsured vehicles.

In addition to the warnings issued by the traffic police, the city police were deployed in 27 cases of acute traffic offences. These included, in particular, parking offenders in disabled parking spaces, in front of fire department access roads, on the weekly market site or in temporary no-stopping zones, for example for construction work, tree pruning or removals. 49 vehicles were towed away.

After a patrol stopped a vehicle due to its conspicuous driving style, they saw that the suspected driver quickly switched to the passenger seat. He refused to open the windows or doors and turned a deaf ear. Only a patrol from the state police was able to persuade the man to get out of the car and carry out a fitness to drive and driving license check.

An e-scooter driver who illegally used the sidewalk will have to answer to the court for driving under the influence of alcohol. Driving with a blood alcohol level of 1.57 is also likely to have consequences for his driving license.

Once again, two e-scooter drivers were found without a valid insurance license plate and criminal proceedings were initiated against each of them for violating the compulsory insurance law.

During a training measure of the city police in the area of traffic control, a car driver insulted the uniformed forces at the intersection. The same person had even physically assaulted colleagues the week before.

A patrol officer noticed a woman jumping onto a crossing several times. They spoke to the woman about this and she refrained from doing so, but then began to shout at the stopping drivers from the traffic lights. When she then began to hit the stopping vehicles, the police escorted her to a psychiatric clinic.

Citizens reported an exhibitionist. The patrol encountered a very unkempt, possibly homeless young man. The young man was given a psychiatric assessment due to the considerable contamination with his own faeces, but was released the following day. He was banned from the premises several times.

A woman stated that she was very worried about an acquaintance who, quite uncharacteristically, could not be reached. A patrol drove to the scene and learned from the neighbors that they were also worried. He could not be reached on his mobile number, but the phone could be heard in the apartment. The patrol had the fire department open the apartment and found the man unresponsive on his bed. According to the hospital, he would not have survived the day in the apartment and is currently still being treated as an inpatient.

During a restaurant check, a woman was found trying to identify herself with forged documents. She was presumably engaged in prostitution there without a corresponding permit or registration.

A patrol had to drive to a kiosk where two drunk people had got into an argument. One of them had been injured by a punch to the face. Nobody wanted to press charges.

A drunk man fell into a ditch about two meters deep and had to be rescued by the fire department. He refused treatment by the emergency services. He was dropped off at his home address to prevent further falls.

The young man who suddenly stepped off the sidewalk onto the road, directly in front of a patrol car, could not be persuaded to leave the road again due to his ingestion of substances that impaired his consciousness. This man was also taken into psychiatric care.

Early on Sunday morning, the officer in charge of the city watch noticed loud shouting and an apparent altercation in front of a bar opposite the town hall. There, the alerted municipal police officers discovered a brawl between a total of 45 to 50 people, which also involved broken beer bottles. A total of five city police officers, ten state police patrols and two service dogs were deployed to painstakingly separate the rival groups. Three injured people ultimately had to be treated. The cause is said to have been the sexual harassment of a woman.

While all available city police officers left the police station for the brawl, an unknown man took the opportunity to enter the station and refused to leave. He was escorted out using simple physical force.

Another person collapsed directly in front of the police station on the same night and was taken away by the ambulance service after first aid by the city police.

A total of 197 operations were registered by the municipal police this week.

At the request of public offices and authorities, the municipal police carried out a number of residence investigations. This primarily involves checks on cohabitation and cases in which urgent official mail could not be delivered due to a missing letterbox and/or doorbell.

The city police also took in several lost and found items during the lost and found office's closing times this week. If lost, please contact fundbuerooffenbachde.
