Bavaria: Suspected sex offender caught

Nuremberg (dpa / lby) - A suspected sex offender who is said to have broken into several daycare centers and schools in Nuremberg could also be responsible for missing children's clothing in another school. This has now reported to the police, said a spokesman for the police headquarters in Central Franconia on Thursday. The school initially suspected that children had hidden the clothes.

The investigators are now examining a connection with the six other burglaries in the north of Nuremberg. A 42-year-old is therefore in custody. He is suspected of breaking into schools and daycare centers, stealing children's underwear and other clothing and threatening to sexually abuse children. He is said to have sent letters to two families in which he described sexual fantasies with the children. Enclosed was the stolen underwear.

It can be assumed that the suspect was about to exercise these fantasies, said the police spokesman. The man from the Neu-Ulm district is said to have been regularly on business in Nuremberg for about two years. During searches of his apartments in the Neu-Ulm district and in Nuremberg, the investigators found stolen clothing and letters with pedophile content.
