In a significant development, the Cologne Police have recovered a Volvo that was reported stolen in Hamburg on September 1st. The vehicle was located in a parking spot on Schlagbaumsweg in Cologne-Holweide.

During a routine check, the police found the vehicle key and forged, sealed license plates in the possession of a 36-year-old man. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the man in question is the suspected receiver of the stolen Volvo.

The man, who is from Bosnia-Herzegovina and has no fixed address in Germany, attempted to evade the police when they approached the vehicle. However, he was provisionally arrested by the Cologne Police.

Intriguingly, the forged license plates were found on the man, further implicating him in the theft. The Volvo, which was not returned as agreed, was also found to have been offered for sale on the internet.

The Cologne Police Press Office can be contacted at Walter-Pauli-Ring 2-6, 51103 Cologne, phone number 0221/229 5555, email [email protected], and website https://koeln.polizei.nrw.de.

The investigation into the stolen Volvo is still ongoing. The man is to be brought before a judge on the same day. It is hoped that this arrest will lead to further developments in the case and bring closure to the owner of the stolen Volvo.
