BERLIN (Reuters) -
German authorities were able to pin a burglary committed in April on a suspected serial thief after he left a half-eaten slice of salami carrying a sliver of his
DNA at a crime scene, police said Thursday.
The 37-year-old Romanian man is accused of breaking into a workshop office in the western city of Darmstadt, stealing cash and two locks and causing damage worth around 3,400 euros ($5,055), Suedhessen police spokesman Ferdinand Derigs said.
"He didn't bring the salami with him -- it was just lying around in the office," Derigs said.
