Student arrested for stealing penny's worth of electricity
A German student could face charges for stealing less than a penny's worth of electricity from a train station.
Jan Michael Ihl, a 23-year-old student, plugged his laptop computer into a socket beside an unused information stand to find out the address of a hostel in Kassel.
Within minutes, three police officers arrested him. They say they watched Ihl crouch by the plug socket and continually look over his shoulder before fleeing.
Public prosecutors will now decide whether the case is worth pursuing.
