Nuremberg (dpa / lby) – A tracking device led to the transfer of a suspected bicycle thief in Nuremberg. Several stolen bikes are said to be on his account, as the police headquarters in Central Franconia announced on Wednesday.
On Tuesday morning, a 21-year-old had his bike stolen in Nuremberg. However, the young man had attached a GPS transmitter to it so that he could use it to locate his bike. According to the information, he discovered his bike on the back of a van. When he spoke to the 37-year-old driver, he fled the car and ran several red lights.
A patrol later arrested the alleged thief. The officers found more wheels on his van, which the police say may also have been stolen. A magistrate must now decide whether the man will be remanded in custody.
