66-year-old thief caught on the train – valuable camera seized!
On Monday, October 14, 2024, a remarkable incident occurred on a long-distance train between Basel and Freiburg. Federal police forces have arrested a 66-year-old Polish citizen who was wanted on an arrest warrant. This arrest occurred during a routine check on the train.
The federal police's attention was drawn to the man when he was found on the train. During the check it turned out that there was an arrest warrant against him for theft. This legal move is not atypical when potential suspects are on the run from justice. The 66-year-old was temporarily arrested and taken to Freiburg main train station, where the police initiated further investigations.
Discovery of possible stolen goods
When searching his luggage, the officers discovered a high-quality SLR camera with a corresponding lens. However, the man was unable to provide any plausible information about the device. In such cases, it is often suspected that the items may have been stolen. In order to clarify ownership, the camera was confiscated.
After the necessary administrative steps, the arrest warrant was finally put into effect by the Freiburg district court. The man was then taken to a correctional facility. Such investigations are important to prosecute crime and ensure that no uninvited guests continue to move freely through the region.
The arrest of the 66-year-old is not only a routine police check, but also shows the effectiveness of the federal police in combating theft and similar crimes. The stop and subsequent arrest may have helped remove additional stolen property from the streets, which is ultimately a positive development for public safety. Such measures are considered essential to reduce crime rates and increase the feeling of safety in public spaces.
