The arrest of two light-fingered thieves will hopefully contribute to fewer burglaries on Funen, which has otherwise been plagued by a number of burglaries over a longer period.

That is at least the hope from Funen Police, after two men aged 24 and 37 from Nyborg Municipality have been remanded in custody for four weeks.

Both are charged with burglary and attempted burglary in the Nyborg area.

The men were arrested on Tuesday following a targeted effort in connection with a series of burglaries over several months targeting commercial properties and private homes.

Among other things, designer furniture, lamps, and other valuables have been stolen.

Officers and dog lay in wait

The arrests took place following a police operation on Tuesday, where police using a dog patrol found a number of items.

The police kept an eye on the location in the hope that the perpetrators would return to retrieve the stolen goods.

They did so and were both arrested.

- It was a good decision to stay at the location and wait for the perpetrators to return, and it paid off, says Special Prosecutor Maria Fanø-Fredeløkke from Funen Police.

The two men were produced in a preliminary hearing at the Court in Svendborg on Wednesday, where they were remanded in custody for four weeks.

It is not stated in the press release how the two men respond to the charges.
