Brazen thieves lifted up in Münsterland



Dulmen - Gangster Posse on highest grade! The police in Münsterland has the luxury life of burglar kings to an end. For years, two men and two women had visited schools and nurseries, computers and stolen safes emptied, bartered the stolen goods to fence.
Over the years, worth millions came together. The prey squandered the gangsters for homes abroad, cars, motorcycles, travel and restaurant meals. But this sweet life is over now: The quartet at age 42 to 48 years now sits in custody.
How safe are the bonds that spying the crime scenes via "Google Earth" and Navis felt to prove business cards that were distributed among grain handlers. "This is something we never got to face," said Norbert Uphues investigators on Monday.
The investigators of the county police Coesfeld had laid in wait after Dülmen in primary schools and kindergartens had been hit. In mid-December they were then surrounded a crime scene.
What happened next suggests any bad gangster movie: The 48-year-old principal offender, who is 15 years as a burglar on the road, was caught red-handed.
His accomplice fled, hid the burglary tools in a front yard under a rhododendron. But the garden belonged to the Head of the Fact-Finding Commission, which had chased the gang for months. When further investigations were flown by all members, led the woman, the police later to the evidence. So far, the Quartet 150 acts could be identified.
