Berlin - The fourth and final suspect in the case of a spectacular heist at a Berlin poker tournament two weeks ago was arrested Saturday, police said.
The 19-year-old was arrested at Tegel airport on his return to Germany. His arrest followed that of the third suspect hours earlier at the same airport.
Two other suspects, aged 20 and 21, are already in police custody.
German police had begun international inquiries earlier in the week, saying they knew the identities of the suspects.
The four men, of Turkish and Arab origins, allegedly made off with around 242,000 euros (330,000 dollars) after raiding a Berlin luxury hotel where one of Europe's biggest poker tournaments was taking place on March 6.
