Man Breaks Into Supermarket Using Stolen Weightlifting Bar

A 43-year-old in Köthen was caught after using stolen gym equipment to smash a supermarket door and steal food.

The incident occurred late Saturday night in Köthen, located in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district of Germany.
The suspect used a weightlifting bar, stolen from a fitness studio, to break the glass door of a closed supermarket.
After stealing several food items, the store's alarm system alerted a security service, which apprehended the man shortly after.
The stolen goods were recovered, and the man was temporarily detained by authorities while investigations continue.
The state prosecutor's office has confirmed the arrest, and further legal proceedings are underway.
