German Tourists Arrested For Thefts, Break-ins


Two German nationals, aged 20 and 21, were arrested during a police investigation into 10 different cases of thefts and break-ins reported in and around the city of Rethymno, Crete. Acting on a tip-off, police arrested the two men after finding three laptops, three digital cameras, a video camera, a mobile phone, gold jewelry and other items hidden in their suitcase and backpack. The Greek state news agency said that  the tools used for break-ins were found in their hotel room. During questioning it was established that they had broken into four rooms of the hotel they were staying at.  The personal items they had stolen were later identified by their owners, police said. The two also reportedly confessed to other six thefts targeting hotel personnel from whom they had stolen mobiles phones, cash and personal effects. Both suspects will be led before a prosecutor on Thursday.
