The attack on the town hall square is not the only incident in Bad Homburg that has recently concerned the police. On May 20, 2023, a 23-year-old woman was the victim of a robbery on Louisenstrasse, a pedestrian zone above the town hall. At 1:30 a.m. she was attacked by two female perpetrators who stole her wallet, cell phone and jewelry. The perpetrators were estimated to be 16 to 17 years old and also fled towards the train station. The Bad Homburg criminal police are also looking for witnesses in this context and can be contacted on 06172/1200 Press portal reports.

These incidents shed light on a worrying security problem in the region. Despite the different nature of the crimes, the common denominator is that the perpetrators often operate near highly frequented places such as Rathausplatz and Louisenstrasse and are primarily attracted by popular lighters or soft targets.
