Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: burglars hidden on the roof: caught with the help of the fire brigade

Gadebusch (dpa / mv) - With the help of a fire brigade turntable ladder, the police in Gadebusch (Northwest Mecklenburg) caught a burglar. The 33-year-old broke into a bakery branch in a supermarket on Sunday night and hid on the roof, a police spokeswoman said on Sunday. An alarm system betrayed the burglar. When the police arrived with dogs, the perpetrator had initially disappeared, but his ladder, which was designed for the crime, gave him away. In order to search the large roof safely, the fire brigade was called in with a ladder. The man was taken into custody and has to answer for the particularly serious case of theft.
