Overview
- Police arrested the suspect after a witness reported him loading store carts into a vehicle in a shopping center parking lot.
- Investigators suspect he had taken more than 300 carts from the same market over an extended period.
- Police say he sold the carts to a scrap dealer for their metal value.
- The scrap yard that accepted and paid for the carts has not been identified, and the probe is ongoing.
- Authorities estimate the store’s losses at about €70,000, which far exceeds the likely scrap payout.
