Overview
- A 35-year-old identified her stolen Pedelec on an online marketplace and coordinated with police to stage a purchase.
- Officers arrested a 31-year-old at the arranged meeting following the decoy transaction.
- A search of a multi-family building near Laimer Platz uncovered 22 stolen bicycles along with keys to new locks.
- A separate search of an apartment in Ramersdorf linked to the suspect yielded three additional stolen bikes, and the man is known to police for similar offenses.
- A 26-year-old co-resident who arrived carrying more bike keys was detained and later released after identification procedures, and investigators expect charges for a particularly serious case of theft.
