Cologne - As his three beloved guinea pig Puschel, Emma and Tommi had been stolen, a 42-year-old set the wheels in motion. With success: He even obtained a search warrant - and where the little rodents then actually showed up again.
Along with its wooden cage were the pigs in the night of 3 May by the estate of the 42-year-olds in high mountain stolen. The Cologne pointed to the theft in the neighborhood, and distributed posters with the pictures of Puschel and Co.
Children rarely reported later that they had seen the animals in an apartment nearby. Then a district court judge issued a search warrant.
The suspect is a 12-year-old boy who initially came out of the empty cage. The mother of a friend later brought the guinea pigs back to their owners. The children said they had found the cage on the street.
