Dutch police have finally cracked the case of a petrol station robbery nearly a decade on after the thief handed himself in, apparently wracked by a guilty conscience.
荷蘭警方終於偵破一起加油站搶劫案，因為這名強盜在犯案近10年後出面自首，顯然深受罪惡感折磨。
The cold case dates back to January 18, 2016. A robber stole a few hundred euros from a petrol station in the southern Dutch town of Terneuzen.
這起懸案要追溯到2016年1月18日，當時一名強盜在荷蘭泰爾訥曾南邊一座加油站竊走數百歐元。
The cashier was able to give a detailed description of the thief and police opened an investigation, but could not find their man and the case remained unsolved.
在收銀員詳細描述這名竊賊後，警方展開調查，但找不到此人，案件一直懸而未決。
"A 28-year-old man who now lives in Arnhem probably had a guilty conscience and recently handed himself in to police in his hometown," authorities said.
警察當局表示：「一名現居阿納姆的28歲男子可能心懷愧疚，最近向家鄉的警方自首。」
