Flashlight blinded – startled from sleep and burglar caught

Date:

Would he have preferred to do it without his flashlight: A suspected burglar (67) was caught red-handed on Friday evening in Roppen (Tyrolean district of Imst) because he blinded the sleeping resident of a house with the beam of light. A major manhunt put an end to his escape attempt.

The initially unknown man sneaked into a single-family home in Roppen through an unlocked door on Friday around 1:30 am. He crept through the building with a flashlight. But he probably did the math without the 62-year-old owner of the house, who woke up blinded by the flashlight. The intruder then fled.

Search with sniffer dogs and drones
The police organized a large-scale search for the unknown man. Not only were numerous officers involved, but also a sniffer dog patrol and a fire brigade drone. The wanted man was eventually found and arrested. The man is a 67-year-old Italian. He was generally reported.
