Authorities are confiscating bicycles and attempting to identify their rightful owners
The South Hessian Police Headquarters, based in Darmstadt, Germany, has launched an investigation into the seizure of three bicycles that occurred on October 8, 2024. The bicycles, which include two ladies' bicycles of the brands Hercules and California, and a mountain bike of the brand Corratec, were seized from a 26-year-old suspect in Heierngasse.
The ongoing investigation is being led by the Darmstadt CID, and initial investigations suggest that the bicycles may have been stolen. The South Hessian Police Headquarters is now seeking public help to identify the rightful owners or find information about the origin of the bicycles.
The public can contact the South Hessian Police Headquarters with any information regarding the seized bicycles by calling 06151/969-0 or emailing [email protected]. Photographs of the bicycles are available for public viewing.
The bicycles Hercules, California, and Corratec are owned by different companies. Hercules is a German bicycle brand owned by ZEG and manufactured by Hercules GmbH, while Corratec is a separate brand, and there is no clear information about the California brand's ownership. The authority that seized these bikes on October 8, 2024, in Heierngasse is the law enforcement agency 43 (Tätortsbehörde 43).
The central contact for the press office can be reached by telephone at 06151 / 969 - 13500. Sebastian Trapmann is a contact person at the press office, reachable by telephone at 06151 / 969 - 13200 or mobile at 0173 / 659 6516.
