In Regensburg, a jogger showed courage and helped the police arrest a drug dealer.

Courageously, he stood in the man's way.

Regensburg – According to the Regensburg North police, on January 18, a patrol at the Regenbrücke in the Reinhausen district of Regensburg wanted to check the personal details of a man who appeared suspicious.

When the 24-year-old saw the police, he immediately took to his heels, ran under a bridge and threw the suspected drug into the rain.

He then tried to flee from the police.

This is reported by the Regensburg North police. 

Regensburg: man wants to flee - jogger intervenes 

The police gave chase, but apparently the suspect was so quick that the officers couldn't catch him on their own.

A 41-year-old jogger, who was walking along the river, got in the way of the criminal when the police called.

He actually managed to arrest the 24-year-old until law enforcement officers arrived.

But that's not all: despite the freezing temperatures, the runner climbed into the water and fished the fugitive's previously discarded items out of the rain. 

Regensburg: Jogger stands in the way of refugees - the police find eight bags of marijuana  

The police quickly found what they were looking for and the suspicion was confirmed.

Eight bags of marijuana were seized by officers.

The 24-year-old is being investigated for illegal narcotics trafficking. 

Regensburg: The police thanked the jogger for his courageous actions

The 41-year-old has now received a letter of thanks from the chief of police, Norbert Zink, and an associated reward for his hearty intervention.

Because without him, the alleged drug dealer would probably still be at large.
