Bavaria: thief escapes and leaves handbag with ID behind

Vilshofen (dpa / lby) - A woman fled after a theft in a supermarket without stolen goods and left her handbag with her ID card. The 51-year-old had previously been caught by the shop detective, the police said on Tuesday.

The thief had only bought a sack of potatoes at the cash register late Monday afternoon, but she hid goods worth 80 euros in her bag. The store detective spoke to the woman and wanted to arrest her. She lashed out and left the shop in Vilshofen (Passau district). With the identity card in the left purse, the police were able to easily locate the woman.
