A German teenager caught shoplifting tried to dupe police by lying about where he lived — but ended up in even more trouble when the address he gave turned out to be the home of an investigating officer.
The 18-year-old from Achim, a town of 30,000 in northern Germany, admitted he had lied when the officer explained that the address belonged to him, said police in nearby Verden.
“It was complete coincidence,” said a police spokesman. “The thief gave that address because he’d once lived in the house. The policeman was the guy who moved in afterwards.”

A Polish woman has become only the second person to give birth on London’s underground rail network since it opened 146 years ago, the transport authority confirmed on Friday.
Julia Kowalska was travelling with her sister on the network’s Jubilee line on December 19 when her contractions started.
She got off at a station in Northwest London, and gave birth to a healthy baby girl in the supervisor’s office, assisted by an ambulance crew.
The only other birth recorded on the 275-station underground network happened in 1924 when Marie Cordery was born at Elephant & Castle, operator Transport for London said.
