Having TOTO lottery tickets printed out and running out of the store with them without paying. That was the working method of a thief who struck in the area of the Beresteinlaan police station in The Hague in recent weeks. When the police got wind of it through a ‘collaboration partner’, the suspect came into the picture after investigation. On the basis of this, he was recognized in a shopping street and arrested. The lottery tickets he stole were valid, police say. ‘The amount of damage ran into the thousands of euros.’ It is unknown whether a prize has fallen on the lottery tickets.
