Police successful

A pair of thieves stole a purse from a store

Success for the officers of the police station in Hard. The local police managed to track down a couple who also live in the lakeside community and have already admitted to being responsible for the theft.

Extensive investigations and information from witnesses finally led the police on the trail of a 29-year-old man and his 35-year-old partner. Both live in Hard and admitted to having taken the wallet left behind in a grocery store. 

Disposed of in the waste paper container
The thieving duo took the cash and disposed of the purse and all the papers in a waste paper container on their own doorstep. However, the owner was spared the trouble of retrieving all the cards and IDs: the officers found the wallet in the container.

The couple is now trying to make amends and has already repaid the stolen money. The two were nevertheless reported to the public prosecutor's office.
