Charged shoplifter in Mainz: passers -by intervene!

Mainzer Altstadt, Deutschland - on June 4, 2025, at 4:30 p.m., a shoplifter was arrested in the old town of Mainz after an attentive shop detective observed him in the suspicious behavior before a clothing business "Am Fire". The thief had initially moved away, but quickly returned. This is particularly explosive, as the theft had already been committed in the same business the day before.

Thanks to the quick reaction of enthusiastic passers -by who jumped to the detective, the perpetrator could be recorded until the police arrived. He insulted the detective audible and claimed that the stolen goods had already sold. Several criminal proceedings were initiated against him, while the police continue the investigation into the precise participation of the suspect in the incidents.
