The theft took place during the early hours of Sunday morning in one of the city’s busiest nightlife spots. Working on a description of the suspect, officers were able to identify and detain the man within the vicinity of where the crime took place.
Just 24-hours earlier the suspect, a known offender, had also been in trouble with police after breaking into a house in Albufeira, but on that occasion had been scared off by the owners before being able to steal anything.
