A witness saw how someone cut through the lock on a valuable mountain bike at the station with a pair of wire cutters, but having been spotted they then fled before actually taking the bicycle.

The suspect was spotted by police in the Homburger Landstraße and on searching the rucksack that he was carrying the officers found a large wire cutter, a small pair of pliers and a small amount of Cannabis.
