Criminal break-ins reported in Kalk and Vingst, with multiple suspects at large
Three Suspects Arrested in Series of Burglaries in Cologne
In an unprecedented series of burglaries, three suspects, including a 29-year-old with no fixed address in Germany, were apprehended by the Cologne Police in the districts of Vingst and Kalk.
The incident began on Friday afternoon when a resident noticed two suspicious women, aged 29 and 17, in a building's hallway. The witness immediately called the emergency number, alerting the authorities.
The duo, later identified as the two suspects, had gained access to an apartment in Nießenstraße around 3 PM. The 28-year-old suspect was arrested red-handed by a patrol team in the apartment, while the 29-year-old suspect was held by witnesses until the police arrived.
In a separate incident, a 35-year-old resident noticed the duo fleeing and gave chase. With the help of another witness, aged 50, the 35-year-old resident held the duo until the police arrived.
The 29-year-old suspect, who was involved in the burglary in Nießenstraße, as well as the series of burglaries in Cologne, has no fixed address in Germany. He was arrested in the districts of Vingst and Kalk and was later sent to jail following his arrest.
The stolen goods were later returned to the apartment's owner, a 63-year-old, by the police. The judge also sent the 28-year-old suspect to jail following his arrest.
The name of the spokesperson for the press office of the Cologne police was not directly mentioned in the provided search results.
This series of burglaries serves as a reminder for residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities. The Cologne Police continue to investigate the case and encourage anyone with information to come forward.
