Chaos in Dillenburg parking lot: police hold alcohol and criminals!

In Dillenburg, attentive witnesses watched two men on the evening of June 5, 2025 who had sparked a fire in the parking lot of the Wilhelm-von Orania School. When they noticed the witnesses, the two quickly extinguished the fire and fled over a bike path. The police were able to arrest a 28-year-old and a 32-year-old man nearby. The older, residual man was searched for an arrest warrant and was taken to a correctional facility. The 28-year-old, on the other hand, was heavily drunk and resisted, which brought him an advertisement. For him it went into the custody cell for sobering.

In addition, the Herborn police are looking for a driver who damaged a traffic sign on the L3282 between 27 and 30 May 2025. The unknown driver had apparently strayed from the street with his VW Gulf and had driven the sign before his trail disappeared into the grass. The damage is estimated at 900 euros. Witnesses are asked to contact the police. In addition, there was an attempted burglary in a postbank branch in Sophienstraße, in which the perpetrators wanted to attack an ATM, but had no success with the machine or the escape options. The total damage amounts to 10,000 euros.
