I guess this proves that German police and airport security don’t cross-check their flight manifests against a list of outstanding arrest warrants. And that wearing a mask is a good idea when committing crimes:

BERLIN (Reuters) – A German woman who was held up and robbed in her Berlin apartment earlier this month was astonished to see the thief waiting to board her flight from Antalya in Turkey to the German capital, police said Tuesday. The 37-year-old woman telephoned her husband who alerted the authorities, police spokesman Joerg Kunzendorf said.

When the flight arrived at Berlin’s Schoenefeld airport late Sunday, police arrested the 25-year-old man, who was wanted in connection with several other robberies.
