Police in Magdeburg and the Federal Police collaborate to issue a joint statement:
In the heart of Magdeburg, Germany, a significant development has taken place in the investigation of a burglary that occurred on May 20, 2025, in the Stadtfeld-West area.
The incident unfolded when a single-family home was broken into, with the perpetrator(s) making off with jewelry and personal documents. Colleagues from the Magdeburg Police Precinct swiftly secured traces at the crime scene and initiated investigations.
The breakthrough in the case came when a 44-year-old man was provisionally arrested by the Federal Police at Magdeburg Central Station at 3:50 PM. Officers had checked the man after noticing manipulations in the e-bike frame number he was using.
Upon further search, the man was found to have a plastic bag containing numerous identity documents in his jacket pocket. His backpack also revealed jewelry, other valuable items, and burglary tools. The documents found did not match the man's own personal details, raising initial suspicions.
The man gave contradictory statements and attempted to evade the control, leading to the responsible judge at the Magdeburg District Court issuing an arrest warrant against him. The police executed the arrest warrant by taking the man into custody at a detention facility.
The Magdeburg Police Precinct has established a connection between the burglary and the checked man, but there is no information in the search results identifying the suspect in the single-family house burglary or indicating if they were involved in similar past burglaries. Further investigations are conducted to determine if the suspect is involved in other crimes.

The investigation into the burglary continues, and the public is reminded to report any suspicious activities to the local police authorities.
