Law enforcement officials in Lünen apprehended a suspect accused of home invasion.
In a recent development, a 40-year-old man without a fixed address has been taken into police custody in connection with a cellar burglary that occurred in Borker Straße, Lünen, early on Sunday, July 20. The incident took place at approximately 01:35, and the suspect was apprehended following a pursuit by two witnesses and subsequent intervention by civilian forces.
The warrant for the man's detention was issued by a judge in Dortmund, and the case is now being handled by the Public Prosecutor's Office Dortmund (or its affiliated offices). This is because criminal proceedings in Lünen fall under the jurisdiction of the state prosecutors linked to Dortmund and surrounding courts, such as the Amtsgericht Lünen.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that the suspect had broken into several cellar rooms of a multi-family house during the burglary. A Mercedes vehicle key was found in the suspect's backpack, and the origin of this key is currently under investigation.
The man faces several criminal proceedings for aggravated theft, but the specific cellar rooms that were burglarized have not been specified at this time. The incident (Case No.: 0630) took place in Dortmund, Germany.
During the arrest, the suspect did not resist, making the process smooth for the police and civilian forces involved.
