Rahden (dpa / lnw) - With an accomplice instead of a stolen safe in the hold, a burglar with a delivery truck fled headlong from the police.
According to the police on Monday, he and two accomplices stole the safe of a supermarket in Rahden in the Minden-Lübbecke district.
Shortly thereafter, however, the gang was caught by the police.
While a 28-year-old was arrested at the supermarket, one of the men sped away in the van.
The safe and burglary tools slipped out of the hold - instead, a 25-year-old got in quickly and drove in the back on Sunday night.
The driver drove over hill and dale through several villages before the van got stuck on a forest path in Espelkamp.
The 25-year-old was shaken properly on the loading area and was slightly injured, as the officials said.
He was arrested.
Initially, there was no trace of the driver, and a police helicopter was now looking for him.
