Brave kids catch bicycle thief in Spremberg! Police praise the effort

An incredible coup in Spremberg! A group of brave children managed to catch a bicycle thief in the act. The 30-year-old perpetrator, already known to the police and of no fixed address, grabbed an 11-year-old boy's unsecured bicycle and rode away with it. But the boy's friends refused to be intimidated. They discovered the thief and the stolen bike near the skate park and gave chase - from a safe distance, of course. They continued the hunt by calling the police.

The thief tried to hide in the bushes, but the police were on his heels. Thanks to the quick reaction of the children and the police, the man was caught. The relieved boy got his bike back and the children became little heroes of the day. The police praised the clever actions of the young detectives, who not only stood up for their friend, but also for justice.
