Police in the Hesse region reported three incidents on June 12‑13, 2026: an attempted forced entry at the Kelkheim town hall that damaged the entrance door but failed, a fire involving several waste containers on Hochster Straße in Hofheim that was quickly contained, and a traffic collision on Jahnstraße in Flörsheim where a 33‑year‑old driver under more than 2 ‰ alcohol fled the scene before being stopped.
In Baden‑Württemberg, authorities in Aalen recorded a residential burglary at Kälblesrainweg, with no items reported missing, while a separate incident that night involved food left burning on a stove in a multi‑family building on Weidenfelder Straße, causing heavy smoke but no injuries. Near Ellwangen, a 43‑year‑old driver attempted an unsafe overtaking maneuver on the B290, striking a lorry and causing about €2,000 in vehicle damage.
