Berlin police arrest suspect after resident foils early-morning car break-in
A 41-year-old man was arrested in Berlin's Altglienicke district early on Tuesday. Police detained him on suspicion of stealing valuables from parked cars. The incident began when a local resident spotted an unfamiliar man tampering with his Mercedes at around 5 a.m. The resident called the police after seeing the suspect trying to break into the vehicle. Officers arrived quickly and attempted to detain the man, but he fled the scene on foot. A short chase followed before police caught him nearby. The suspect is now in custody for identity checks. Authorities plan to bring him before a judge to decide whether an arrest warrant will be issued. No official figures on vehicle break-ins or part thefts in Berlin over the past year were available at the time of reporting. The arrest follows a swift response from local police after a resident's report. The suspect remains in custody while investigations continue. A court will determine the next steps in the case.
