Upon request, Hanspeter Krüsi, media spokesman for the canton of St. Gallen police, specified that the man had also stolen money and that this was his particular target.
“We were surprised that so much food was found during the house search. We mostly get reports of money theft. “
The victims often did not notice the lack of food.
The 25-year-old has admitted much of the facts. In some cases, you may not have been alone on your robbery tours. His 25-year-old Spanish girlfriend took him to the scene of the crime. What role he played in the robberies is still being clarified. Both are reported to the prosecutor of the canton of San Galo; now they are on the run again.
