A Norweigan man has left German authorities baffled after he managed to sneak aboard two flights with no ticket and without getting caught by security. The 39-year-old man was finally turned over to officials after he caught the crew’s attention upon landing in Stockholm , Sweden , earlier this month, Germany ’s federal police told The Independent. The unidentified stowaway is now being investigated by German authorities for trespassing and fare evasion after boarding two flights without even purchasing a ticket, police said.
Police said the first incident occurred on 4 August at Munich Airport Terminal 2, when he got through security and boarded a flight to Hamburg without getting caught, supposedly tailgating a passenger so closely he bypassed an automated ticket check, the German newspaper Bild reported. That was until the cabin crew realised there was no seat for him on the fully booked flight. The police were called and the man was handed over, but he was subsequently released.
Despite having a run-in with law enforcement, the man decided to, yet again, try and sneak on a plane undetected the following day. The man was successful for the second time in passing through security and getting onboard another plane, Lufthansa flight LH2418, all without having a boarding pass. Since this flight was not fully booked, he was able to travel all the way to Stockholm, police spokesperson Sebastian Pinta said.
His actions eventually caught up with him when the Norwegian man then.
