Bavaria: lion on the prowl: federal police catch costumed thief

Munich (dpa / lby) - An e-scooter driver dressed as a lion surprised the federal police in Munich's main train station. During the check, the officers found that the scooter and a package attached to it had been stolen. This contained alcohol worth 550 euros, the federal police said on Tuesday in Munich.

The investigation revealed that the scooter belonged to a waiter who worked in a club in the old town. The 31-year-old suspect came before a magistrate after his arrest on Friday. "Why the man was disguised, just as little as the origin of the costume, could not be clarified," said the police.
