The latest news in English from Oberursel in the Taunus area of Germany.
The tyres of a black Renault Espace parked on a private parking space in the Wintersteinstraße were slashed sometime between 7pm on Saturday, 22nd October, 2016 and 7.30am on Sunday morning. The damage is estimated at €500.
Police are asking for witnesses to contact them on 06171 62400.
Two men are accused of stealing a complete set of tyres from an Audi A5 in the early hours of Monday morning (25th January, 2016) in the Mauerfeldstraße in Weißkirchen. The car was left on wooden blocks.
A witness spotted the theft take place at around 1.15am and called the police. A short time later, a similar theft was reported in nearby Königstein, with the vehicle used to transport the tyres fitting the description of the one from Weißkirchen. Armed with the registration number, police were able to look for it specifically and found it in Frankfurt in the Rebstock area at 2am.
The vehicle, a silver van, contained two sets of high-value tyres, one of which was the set from the Mauerfeldstraße. The two suspects, aged 39 and 45, were arrested. Both are of no fixed abode and were presented to the custody judge the same afternoon.
Both police and the town of Oberursel are looking for the person or persons who dumped around 120 old tyres in an area of woods known as the “Käsbachtal”, just outside the town towards Stierstadt.
Dumping the tyres there is illegal and if caught the culprit will face a fine under environmental law. They will also face the cost of disposing of the tyres, estimated at around 600 Euro, which will otherwise have to be met by the taxpayer.
Anyone who was in the area on Tuesday, 4th September, 2012 beween 8am and 12.30pm and saw anything – in particular any vehicles in the woods – is asked to call the police station in Bad Homburg on 06172 120-0.
