A 25-year-old man suspected of stealing e-mountain bikes has been arrested during a border control in Waidhaus, after a warrant for his detention was identified. Federal police in Waidhaus said the arrest took place on the night leading into Friday. The man was suspected of theft involving bikes worth more than 23,000 euros. Police said the suspect was allegedly part of a group with two other people. The bikes were allegedly taken from bicycle cellars in Renningen, in the early hours of 23 June 2026. The e-mountain bikes were reportedly models by Cube and Centurion. The case dates back to an order issued by the Stuttgart Local Court in October 2026. The court ordered pre-trial detention on suspicion of joint commercial theft. Police said the alleged thefts were carried out to create an ongoing source of income. Because the accused had no fixed residence and had gone abroad, a detention order was also issued due to flight risk. When he was arrested at the border, officers also found that the Karlsruhe public prosecutor’s office had been searching for him for driving without a licence. The suspect is now in the custody of the justice authorities.
