This audio message has not been confirmed by the police and is unsettling users on Facebook and WhatsApp

An audio message is currently being spread on social media (Facebook and WhatsApp) warning of current events about “criminals” in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district who fake a breakdown on forest paths or remote roads and then rob people.

Central Hesse police commented on Facebook .

This message is wrong !

There are currently no current reports of such an incident in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district!

If such an incident had occurred, the police would certainly have reported it in the daily press releases.

In order to prevent citizens from becoming insecure, the police urgently ask that such written or verbal messages appearing on social networks first be checked for the credibility and accuracy of the content before they are distributed further.

Unreflective copy and paste only stirs up unjustified fears and does more harm than good.
