Cops Nab 42-Year-Old with a Fortune in Swiped Clarinets
Border authorities seize fifteen premium clarinets. - Customs officials are confiscating fifteen fine clarinets at the border entry point.
Hey there, here's a lowdown on a juicy bit of news that's stirring quite a buzz.
A fellow, aged 42, found himself in a pickle at the Dutch border when he was caught red-handed with a luxurious collection of clarinets, valued at an impressive 65,000 euros! Yep, that's right, 15 high-quality clarinets, baby. You can't help but wonder where he might've dug 'em up, ain't that right?
Well, it appears these weren't his lucky finds. Seems like the instruments were snatched in Amsterdam at the start of the week.hardly a surprise the cops got onto his case sharpish when they clocked him on the A52 motorway at the Niederkrüchten-Elmpt junction (Cologne district) on Tuesday.
But hang on, this guy's no stranger to scrapes with the law. The cops knew all too well that he was slapped with a driving ban and was on their radar for property offenses.
Once they swabbed his whip, they didn't find just any old loot. They struck gold with those clarinets, along with a balaclava and a cache of burglary tools. Guess he thought his cover was scot-free, but the man was bereft of any evidence to prove ownership or provenance of his pricey stack of squeeze-boxes.
So what happened next, you ask? Well, the Dutch boys in blue hauled him in, and he's currently chillin' with the authorities. Gotta admit, playing a tune on one of those snatched clarinets would've been quite a catch, but guess he won't be making any sweet melodies anytime soon.
