Police in Germany's northern port city of Bremen say a 25-year-old thief sneaked into a house Wednesday night through an open door and began rifling through jewelry in an upstairs bedroom.
He was promptly discovered by the homeowner. With a few deft blows, the 39-year-old man overpowered the intruder and detained him until police arrived.
Police said Thursday the suspect, who was not identified, was carrying a knife and may be linked to other thefts. He was being held in nearby Lueneburg.
