Arrival of a shoplifter in Cologne Central Station: perfume and escape

Cologne -On August 28, 2024, officers from the Federal Police in Cologne Central Station observed an interesting situation when they became aware of a 43-year-old Georgian who had previously stolen a perfume worth 148 euros in a perfumery. The thief initially disappeared undetected, but that shouldn't be permanent.

After the man had fled, the federal police mobilized their strength together with a shop turkey and went on a search. However, her often frustrating search in the immediate vicinity was unsuccessful. It seemed as if the perpetrator could have left the train station at lightning speed. But the turn came when the shop detective rediscovered the thief in the A-Passage of the main station. This time the collaboration with the federal police patrolling on site was successful and the man was caught.

identity assessment and criminal record

When arresting, the emergency services immediately started with a so -called simplified identification treatment. Thanks to this measure, the identity of the accused could quickly be determined. The results were worrying: the man was not only living in Germany, but was also advertised for the theft from the Bielefeld public prosecutor for the investigation. A comparison with the registration data revealed that the thief was without a permanent place of residence and also could not state any contact address.

The man's search showed that the stolen perfume was still in his possession. This was the final proof of attentive civil servants that it was not a simple theft, but rather a situation that the policy family challenged, especially that the man, obviously a well -known perpetrator, was again illegal.

detention and further steps

the responsible prison prosecutor in Cologne decided to take the 43-year-old in police custody. This decision shows the seriousness of the incident and the need for consequences for repeated offenders like him. Now the accused has to answer to a judge and will have to have the consequences of his decisions.

This incident in Cologne Central Station not only reflects the challenges with which the security forces are confronted, but also the stubborn problems caused by homelessness and crime. It remains to be seen how the legal steps will go out against the man and whether he can learn from his criminal acts.
