Couple from Amorbach pursues thieves and helps police to arrest them!
What happened on Friday, July 18, 2025, in the “Krummenwiese” in Amorbach (Miltenberg district) sounds like something out of a crime story: A couple who unsuspectingly wanted to shop in a supermarket unintentionally became a hero. With their courageous intervention, the couple helped the police catch three members of a gang of thieves. InFranken reports that shoplifting was committed in the market around 5 p.m.
The suspected perpetrators, a 53-year-old man and two women aged 53 and 29, grabbed several cloth bags filled to the brim with stolen goods and made off. They fled in two cars provided while the couple had already left the store with their purchases. Instead of burying their heads in the sand, the two took the initiative and pursued one of the getaway vehicles. A little later they informed the police about the escapees' location.
