Germany: Suspected 'baby food extortionist' arrested

Police in Germany have arrested a man on suspicion of contaminating adult and baby meals in the wish of gaining hundreds of thousands of euros from supermarkets.
The unnamed man, 55, became taken into custody on Friday nighttime within the Tübingen vicinity south of Stuttgart.
Police on Thursday launched pix of a suspect in a grocery store close to Konstanz.
earlier this month outlets received an electronic mail threatening that meals throughout Europe could be poisoned until €11.7m ($13.8m; £10.3m) was paid.
several jars of toddler food that have been contaminated with a liquid used in anti-freeze were subsequently recovered by police.

There had been no reports of any accidents.
The suspect become reportedly arrested via police visiting in a helicopter following tip-offs from the public.
