A free police officer ends up on the way home from work in public transportation next to a suspected con artist who is recognized.

The vacant colleague photographs the suspected man and sends the picture to his serving colleagues. The police operation can be directed to a bus stop where the suspected man can be apprehended.

The perpetrator is in his 45s and has during the day cheated an elderly person of their credit card. He can also be linked to crimes committed earlier during the day as well as other frauds committed earlier this month. The amounts taken out from the credit cards are extensive.

The man has been interrogated and detained by a prosecutor during the night.
