Federal Police's Exceptional Identifier catches purse thief following multiple weeks of evasion

In a significant breakthrough, three suspects involved in a pickpocketing incident at Bremen Central Station have been identified and arrested. The incident, which occurred on an unspecified date prior to September 3, 2025, was meticulously unravelled by a member of the Bremen Federal Police, who possesses an extraordinary ability known as super-recognition.

On September 3, 2025, around 20:30, the super-recognizer spotted the trio near the station. The suspects, aged 15, 18, and 21, were identified as the ones who had stolen a wallet from an intoxicated victim in the main hall of the station earlier in June.

The super-recognizer, who remains unnamed in the provided search results, has the unique ability to recognise faces even after a long time. This skill proved instrumental in identifying the suspects, as initial efforts to locate them were unsuccessful.

The identification was made by a plainclothes officer, who secured the surveillance camera footage of the June incident. Based on this footage, the federal police were able to identify the trio.

Following the identification, uniformed federal police officers took the three pickpockets into custody near Bremen Central Station. Criminal proceedings have since been initiated against the suspects.

Further investigations will be conducted by the investigative service of the Federal Police Inspectorate Bremen. The suspects were identified on September 3, 2025, leading them outside of the station after the theft.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and the diligent work of the Bremen Federal Police in maintaining public safety. The super-recognizer's contributions to this case highlight the unique abilities that can aid in the pursuit of justice.
