Burglar caught in supermarket robbery – alarm saves the night!
A previously blameless 53-year-old man spent an atypical Tuesday morning in the Groepelingen district of Bremen. Driven by an unfortunate disposition, he broke into a supermarket on Kalmsweg. At around 2:20 a.m. he calmly broke a window to set off the alarm system, which at first glance might not seem like a good plan. In fact, the noise alerted a passer-by, who didn't hesitate for long and informed the police. The man was promptly arrested by officers near the crime scene daily news reported.
The arrested man's backpack contained quite a bit of loot: In addition to 44 cigarette packs, the police also found two knives and various burglary tools.
