According to news in the local media, the suspect stole a wallet from the shop owner's car while the doors were open, during a time when theft was taking place.
The shop owner didn't notice the theft, but the suspect, on the following day, attempted to make a purchase at a store using a bank card taken from the wallet.
The shopkeeper at the store realized that the card belonged to him and had been stolen, so he discreetly informed the police.
As a result, the suspect was apprehended shortly thereafter.
The suspect, who was taken into custody over the weekend, has been referred to the Liege prosecutor's office.
