Berlin police have now arrest all four suspects in a brazen poker tournament robbery exactly two weeks after it occurred.
Berlin police spokeswoman Claudia Schwaiger said Sunday that the 19-year-old suspect was arrested at Tegel airport on Saturday night after his lawyer told police he was there.
Authorities had been hunting for four suspects who they say were armed with a revolver and a machete when they stormed the tournament March 6 at the downtown Berlin Grand Hyatt Hotel and made off with (EURO)242,000 ($327,860) in jackpot money. A security guard managed to grab a significant amount of the cash back.
Two suspects were placed in custody earlier this past week while an international manhunt was launched for the other two. The third suspect was arrested Saturday morning, also at Tegel airport after the first suspect had sang like a canary to the Berlin police.
All men are of Turkish descent.
