The city police were notified of six filled canisters of basic cleaner, each containing 10 liters, which were presumably disposed of illegally. The municipal police called in the fire department for professional disposal.

A local resident informed the municipal police about improperly erected scaffolding. It was blocking the entire sidewalk and was neither secured nor properly cordoned off. Two construction workers on site were able to confirm that the scaffolding did not have a permit. The emergency services suspected an illegal construction site and attempted to contact the company responsible by telephone. During an interview with the neighbors, the city police were able to locate the owner of the building. The owner confirmed that he had hired the company. The emergency services instructed the construction workers to dismantle the scaffolding and stop the work. On suspicion of illegal employment, the emergency services investigated the workers' suspected accommodation. The city police informed the responsible building inspectorate of the city of Offenbach and the financial control of illegal employment of the main customs office in Hanau.

The city police checked a cyclist whose bicycle was not roadworthy. As he also made contradictory statements about the ownership of the bicycle, the city police seized the bicycle until ownership was clarified and took the cyclist's personal details.

During a patrol, officers discovered a vehicle with invalid license plates. A query revealed that the license plates were not assigned to a currently registered vehicle. The vehicle was recorded as a wreck. A few days later, the traffic police noticed the same vehicle again at a different location. A check revealed that the license plates were not registered to the vehicle in question. The man claiming to be the owner admitted that he had knowingly affixed license plates that did not belong to the vehicle and had removed the stamps. The police then confiscated the illegal license plates and took the vehicle key.

During the search of a person on record, the police found a one-handed knife. The municipal police seized the knife and initiated proceedings.
