Shoe thief in Mühldorf: attempted escape ends in police action!

In a shocking incident in Mühldorf am Inn, a 23-year-old woman from the Rottal-Inn district tried to steal shoes worth 50 euros. On Monday, November 4th, she exposed herself in a shop on Mayor-Hess-Strasse, but her plan was abruptly stopped when the anti-theft alarm went off. In a panic, the thief tried to escape quickly, but an alert employee had her in her sights.

The brazen thief's escape attempt ended abruptly when a retired police officer happened to pass by. He didn't hesitate and rushed to help the employee. With the courage of a real hero, he arrested the 23-year-old under public law and brought her back to the shop. But the situation escalated when the woman fought back and tried to escape. The pensioner suffered minor injuries during the arrest, while the Mühldorf police were quickly on the scene to initiate criminal proceedings.

The legal consequences

The incident has now brought the Traunstein public prosecutor's office to the scene, which is investigating the circumstances of the theft. The combination of brazen theft and the courageous intervention of the retired police officer is causing excitement in the region. While the 23-year-old now faces legal consequences, the question remains how often such courageous acts occur in society.
