It was thanks to a resolute supermarket employee that the police arrested two thieves.
They had stolen cigarettes and more.

Markt Schwaben: Saleswoman wants to confront thieves
Outside in the parking lot, the woman wanted to confront the men, but they fled in a van. The saleswoman notified the police, who immediately started a manhunt. This led to success: "The delivery van of the two shoplifters was stopped and checked by a patrol on the highway," says the report. The stolen goods worth around 80 euros were in the vehicle. The two men (22 and 25 years old), who come from other Eastern European countries, were provisionally arrested.
