DNA leads police to salami-loving thief
Takeaway would have been
better.
German authorities were able to pin a burglary
committed in April on a suspected serial thief after he left a half-eaten slice
of salami carrying a sliver of his DNA at a crime
scene.
The 37-year-old Romanian man is accused of breaking into a workshop office in the western city of Darmstadt, stealing cash and two locks and causing damage worth around 3,400 euros ($5,055), Suedhessen police spokesman Ferdinand Derigs said. “He didn’t bring the salami with him — it was just lying around in the office,” Derigs said.
Wrong time for the munchies.
