Footprints lead police to burglars
 German police have captured two men suspected of stealing from 15 cars and two garden sheds by following their footprints in the snow for several kilometres. Policemen were checking up on a car whose alarm had been set off just after midnight in the town of Hoentrop when they found a smashed window and two sets of footprints. They followed the footprints for more than 10 streets. "At one point the tracks disappeared because someone had cleared the pavement outside their home in the middle of the night," police said in a statement. After this minor setback, the officers picked up the trail again. The two sets of footprints led them directly to the entrance of a flat where the burglars not only stored their booty but also left their shoes and gloves to dry.
