On the evening of August 14, a Knaus caravan was stolen from Südring in Mettmann. The owner, who had parked the caravan, received an alert from the tracker and reported movement towards Eydamshauser Strasse. Officers stopped a Volvo XC70 with British plates towing the caravan on Bergische Landstrasse, just before the A3 motorway junction.
Inside the vehicle, they found burglary tools and parts of an anti-theft device. The suspect, an 18-year-old British national, was previously unknown to police. He was released on the orders of the public prosecutor's office, and an investigation is ongoing.
