Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - The police arrested two suspected suitcase thieves at Frankfurt Central Station. The two 26 and 28-year-old men are said to have stolen a woman's luggage in a waiting ICE, the federal police said on Monday. According to the information, the suitcase contained expensive items of clothing by well-known designers worth around 10,000 euros.
The two homeless men initially fled, but were filmed by a surveillance camera during the theft on Saturday. A police patrol recognized the suspects and arrested them shortly thereafter near the train station. There was no trace of the suitcases. The duo was brought before a magistrate who, according to the police, suspended the pre-trial detention subject to conditions. The men are staying in Germany illegally.
