Arrest at the Essen Central Station: Criminal caught because of theft

Essen, Deutschland - On May 26, the federal police arrested a 36-year-old man at Essen Central Station, who was sentenced to a fine of 735 euros for theft. The Greek tried to show himself with a French prison ID card. When checking his identity, it quickly became clear: an arrest warrant was already available!

The man could not pay the fine imposed and immediately ended up in prison. The Essen district court had already sentenced him in 2020. Thanks to a fingerprint scan, its identity could be confirmed without doubt. Another success for the federal police in their fight against crime!
