Shock in Schlitz: Burglary and dog bite shake the community!
Current police reports from the Vogelsberg district show that crime has left its mark in the last few days. The thefts of e-scooters and bicycles are particularly alarming. It was reported from Lauterbach that an e-scooter model Ninebot Ekick worth around 280 euros was stolen on “Eselswörth” street between 9:40 a.m. and 10:35 a.m. The Lauterbach police station will receive information on this at 06641/971-0. This underlines how important it is to lock e-scooters securely. A simple bicycle lock often does not provide sufficient protection, as werbello.de explains.
What to do if your e-scooter is stolen? First of all, it is advisable to file a police report immediately. This requires information such as proof of ownership and the vehicle identification number. If you have partial comprehensive insurance, the replacement value can be claimed taking into account a deductible. A loss is usually settled after three weeks if the e-scooter is not found.
Attack by dog in Alsfeld
Another worrying incident occurred in Alsfeld, where a 62-year-old woman was attacked by an unknown dog while walking her dog. This happened around 11:30 a.m. on August 8th. The description of the dog owner provides information: She is around 25 years old, has medium-length dark blonde hair and was wearing dark trousers, possibly leggings. The dog that caused the attack weighed between 50 and 60kg, had dark gray fur and a large head, possibly being a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The Alsfeld police station will accept information on 06631/974-0.
Break-in in the beverage market
On the night between August 8th and 9th, a drinks market on Herrngartenstrasse in Schlitz was hit. Unknown perpetrators entered the store by forcing open the sliding glass door and stole a small amount of cash. The material damage is around 5,000 euros. Here too, the police encourage the public to provide information, which can be directed by telephone to the Lauterbach police station on 06641/971-0.
Another burglary occurred on August 9th on August-Gluck-Straße in Rimbach, where a Pedelec worth around 1,560 euros was stolen. In such incidents, be it a bicycle or e-scooter theft, owners should always think carefully about how to secure their vehicles to prevent loss.
Garbage can fire in Lauterbach
Finally, there was a garbage can fire on Blitzenröder Street in Lauterbach. On the night of August 9th, around 4:45 a.m., several garbage cans were set on fire in front of an apartment building. The property damage amounts to around 850 euros, the cause is still unclear, but arson cannot be ruled out.
