A wanted champagne thief has been arrested in Saarland, Germany and is now in prison.
The 56-year-old had hidden several bottles of champagne under his raincoat in a supermarket in the town of Riegelsberg on Saturday and tried to leave the store, police in the nearby town of Völklingen announced on Sunday.
When the man was checked, it turned out that there was a warrant for his arrest.
The champagne thief had previously been arrested more than twenty times in Germany, especially in southern Germany, a police spokeswoman said.
A judge confirmed the arrest warrant Sunday and the man was taken to jail.
