Theft of a bicycle – police are looking for witnesses
A 30-year-old wanted to steal a bicycle.
Just as an 18-year-old released his bike, which was secured with a lock, on the forecourt of the Lago shopping center in Constance on Thursday at 8.40 p.m., a 30-year-old man living in Switzerland, accompanied by a second, as yet unknown person, walked up to the 18- year-olds. According to the Konstanz public prosecutor’s office, there was a short scuffle, in which the 30-year-old is said to have held a knife in his hand. The man pushed the adolescent to the ground, took the bike and wanted to flee in the direction of Switzerland.
However, the 18-year-old was able to stop the stranger and hold him down during another scramble until the police arrived. The suspect has been arrested for the time being.
A small amount of cocaine was found during the search along with a knife. Against the 30-year-old man, who had entered Germany without permission, a security deposit of 1,000 euros was raised at the responsible district court on Friday followingnoon.
The police are appealing for witnesses in connection with the crime. Anyone who can provide the relevant information is asked to contact the Konstanz Criminal Police Office on 07531 995-0. (Public Prosecutor Konstanz/red)
