Bavaria: shoplifter leaves backpack with passport when fleeing

Amberg (dpa / lby) - While fleeing employees, a suspected shoplifter left his backpack in Amberg - with cash, passport and driver's license. The security system sounded the alarm when the man wanted to leave the supermarket, the police said on Sunday. When an employee spoke to him, he gave her the backpack and fled. Since there was no stolen goods in this, he probably carried the goods on his body. The papers belonged to a 35-year-old - presumably the shoplifter. The police officers took the backpack to the inspection on Saturday. "It can be picked up here, including its contents, by the owner."
