Authorities successful in tracking down two alleged burglars at large.
In a recent development, the Cologne Police have arrested two suspects for an alleged theft that took place on a tram in Hürth, a suburb of Cologne. The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon, 26th August.
According to the police, the suspects (aged 45 and 52) were apprehended with a stolen backpack, which contained a laptop that could be traced by its owner. The theft was first noticed by the owner at midday in Brigittengasse, and the laptop was tracked via video surveillance to Rudolfplatz, then to Neumarkt, and finally towards Hürth.
The arrest was made when the tram was stopped at the "Fischenich" stop. The suspects were found with the computer in a plastic bag. Witnesses who can provide information about the incident are asked to contact the investigators of the Criminal Investigation Department 74 by phone on 0221 229-0 or by email at [email protected].
The police have returned the stolen laptop to its rightful owner. Persons who wish to provide information on the incident are encouraged to do so.
