Thieves make off with a 500-kilogram safe in Mühlheim
In an unexpected turn of events, the Offenbach police have apprehended a suspect involved in a burglary that took place on Sunday evening. The 48-year-old individual was caught in the woodland stretch between Mühlheim and Lammerspiel.
According to the police, the suspect and an accomplice were attempting to open a safe that had been stolen from a bakery on Dieselstraße in Mühlheim. The noise they made while trying to open the safe alerted a witness, who promptly contacted the authorities, leading to a quick response from a patrol car.
The arrested man was taken to the police station for processing, and after completing police procedures, he was consulted with the public prosecutor's office. However, the suspect's accomplice managed to escape and remains at large.
The police are now seeking information on the second suspect. Anyone with useful information about the fleeing accomplice is asked to contact the burglary squad at 069 8098-1234. The police are also looking for potential witnesses who may have observed something during the incident. A witness appeal has been issued for both the case of the second suspect and any potential witnesses.
In a related development, the safe that was stolen from the bakery was found in the same woodland stretch where the suspect was apprehended. The suspects did not manage to open the safe before their arrest.
