A 17-year-old caught the attention of the police in Munich with two burglaries in one night. The young man is said to have been driving someone else’s car without a driver’s license and without permission. But the alleged crimes only gradually came to light.
Officers from the Laim police inspection checked the youth in a Mercedes on Landshuter Allee at the corner of Moosacher Strasse early on Wednesday morning. They discovered that he did not have a driver’s license, seized the vehicle and had the young man’s mother pick him up. Three hours later, at around 5:30 a.m., the police received news of a break-in at a kiosk on Helfenriederstrasse. The security system there had triggered an alarm for the owner, who informed his son, who in turn called the police. The arriving officers came across the 17-year-old as he was about to leave the kiosk and arrested him.
In the course of the investigation, it turned out that the suspect had probably also broken into two company containers in the immediate vicinity of the kiosk just a few hours earlier. There the 17-year-old found the vehicle keys of the Mercedes company car, with which he drove through the city and a little later got into the general traffic check. An investigating judge has now ordered custody for the young man.
