Photo: DPAPolice in Munich claim to have cracked a European-wide burglary cell thought to be responsible for as many as a fifth of all burglaries in Germany. A burglary ring which stretched across Europe from Spain to Croatia has been busted, Munich police told a press conference on Monday. “We believe that this group could have been responsible for every fifth burglary in Germany during the period of this investigation,” said Reinhold Bergmann, commissioner of the organized burglary unit. The officers arrested the girls, but at the time didn’t realize what they had stumbled upon. Munich police did have some potentially good news for victims of the burglaries, saying that some might be able to retrieve rings and watches that had been stolen.
