(um) Commercial shoplifters helped themselves to several people in different supermarkets on Waltgeriestrasse. The 25-30 year olds suspected of shoplifting were extremely skillful in their actions. What they did not know was that the civilian investigators of the Herford police had the right nose and had already been observing them for a while. A thirty-year-old man took the goods previously taken from the shelves by a woman and put the loot under the specially prepared clothing. A short time later, the woman placed her small purchase on the conveyor belt and went through the checkout after paying. Meanwhile, her accomplice was walking towards the exit at a closed neighboring checkout. The shoplifters deposited their loot at the car with Romanian registration. At this moment, the Herford police officers arrested them in the parking lot. The investigation into the persons involved provided sufficient evidence of property crime. A later presentation at the request of the public prosecutor's office resulted in a warrant for the transfer of the 30-year-old man to the courts. The investigation into the case is ongoing.
