Police in Zurich have arrested a suspected pickpocket pair after a passer-by alerted them to a man and a woman trying to steal from people in the city centre. Officers from the Kantonspolizei Zürich moved in with a detailed description and located the pair near Stadelhofen, in Kreis 1. A search followed during the identity checks. According to the police, one of the suspects tried to get rid of allegedly stolen bank cards. During the subsequent search, officers found suspected stolen items including a wallet, identification documents, bank cards and cash. The suspects are a 52-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman, both Romanian nationals. They were taken into custody, questioned by police, and handed over to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for further processing. Police say they are now checking whether the pair committed other offences. One man who had reported a pickpocket theft shortly before was able to get his property back. Legal status was not specified beyond the detention and the handover to prosecutors for questioning and review.
