A patrol noticed a scooter driver who was riding without a helmet and appeared distracted while driving. During a subsequent check, the city police discovered that the vehicle had been started without an ignition key using a screwdriver and external wiring. The scooter also had an expired license plate that did not belong to the vehicle. The driver stated that he had recently acquired the scooter in exchange for a smartphone. The driver initially gave false information about his personal details, which was refuted by an identity document that was found. The officers noticed that the man had glassy eyes, which is why they asked him to provide a urine sample. The man's urine was found to contain cannabis. Due to several criminal offenses such as suspected theft, driving without a license and insurance, driving under the influence of narcotics and giving false personal details, the city police handed the man over to the state police.

The city police handed over the hazardous area to ENO.

A patrol noticed a vehicle driving without dipped headlights. The members of the municipal police tried to persuade the driver to switch on his headlights with hand signals. The driver did not react, instead he appeared distracted. The patrol followed the vehicle and switched on the patrol car's stop signal. Shortly afterwards, the driver attracted attention with his conspicuous and unsafe driving style: The vehicle swerved from left to right several times before finally stopping. Immediately afterwards, the passenger got out of the vehicle. When the emergency services approached the vehicle, they noticed that the driver and front passenger had swapped seats. The driver denied that he had been driving and stated that he had only been a passenger. During the check, the emergency services detected a strong odor of alcohol in the man. A breath alcohol test showed a value of 1.62 per mille. The man also admitted that he did not have a driver's license. The city police confiscated the car keys and parked the car on site. Blood was taken from the driver at the police station and he was charged with a criminal offense.

A more detailed examination of the woman revealed that a search warrant had been issued: the driver's license had been issued for confiscation. The city police took the woman to the police station and she was charged with drunk driving and driving without a license.
