Cops nab duo behind Werlte burglary after TV show tip-off
After a horrific burglary in Emsland left an 83-year-old elderly gentleman badly beaten, the cops have bagged two possible suspects. A 33-year-old was nabbed in Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, on August 22, while a 28-year-old, currently detained for another crime, is under custody. A call, prompted by the ZDF show "Aktenzeichen Unsolved," on February 14, helped police ID the two crooks. The show presented pivotal visuals and audio recordings that seemingly pinpointed the suspects. An audio confirmation report further fueled suspicion against the two lads.
According to the authorities, the perps, wearing masks, barged into a Werlte residence in August 2022. They threatened an elderly couple living there and viciously battered the 83-year-old man, causing grievous injuries. The 81-year-old woman managed to escape unharmed. The bad apples made off with high-value jewelry and cash. Cops have clammed up about whether the swiped goods have been recovered.
The ZDF show "Aktenzeichen Unsolved" on February 14 revealed details about the burglary that led to the TV transmission of critical visuals and audio recordings associated with the case. In the words of investigators, these broadcast materials notably aided in identifying the two suspects linked to the burglary seen on TV.
