Sex Offender Arrested - Sex Crime Investigation in Dusseldorf and Mettmann - Suspects Detained and Under Custody

In a series of disturbing incidents, the Düsseldorf Police Department and the Langenfeld Police Authority are working diligently to solve three sexual offenses that have occurred in the region.

On April 25, 2023, a sexual offense took place in Düsseldorf's Hasseler Forest. The perpetrator, who remains unknown, had been lying in wait for a woman. The victim was a woman, and no further details about her have been released to the public.

Approximately five months later, on October 19, 2023, an attempted sexual offense occurred in Langenfeld. Both cases are being investigated for similarities.

The Düsseldorf Police Department is the competent main criminal office for these investigations. They have bundled the investigations for the April 25, 2023, sexual offense in Düsseldorf's Hasseler Forest and the October 19, 2023, attempted sexual offense in Langenfeld.

The focus of the investigators in the March 10, 2024, offense in Hilden turned to a 38-year-old man registered in Hilden. A DNA sample taken from this man showed a match with molecular-genetic traces secured in the March 2024 offense. The man, of Egyptian nationality, was arrested on March 10, 2024, in connection with these three sexual assaults in Düsseldorf, Hasseler Wald, Langenfeld, and Hilden between April 25, 2023, and March 10, 2024.

However, there is no information in the search results about the man's involvement in the other two offenses, and the investigations into his involvement in these cases are ongoing. The arrest warrant for the man has since been executed.

The Düsseldorf Police Department and the Langenfeld Police Authority are continuing to work hand in hand on a possible perpetrator identification for both cases. The investigations into the April 25, 2023, sexual offense in Düsseldorf's Hasseler Forest and the October 19, 2023, attempted sexual offense in Langenfeld are still ongoing. No further details about the perpetrator or the victims have been released to the public.

The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. As the investigations continue, the communities affected by these offenses can rest assured that the police are working tirelessly to bring the perpetrator to justice.
