楚'天都市报讯（记者叶文波 通讯员罗维舟）昨日凌晨，张某在武汉市洪山区撬奥迪车门盗窃，却不知车主就在身后并已报警，张某被洪山警方抓获现行。
10日凌晨，在洪山区雄楚大道石牌岭，市民曹先生和朋友消夜后准备驱车离开，发现马路对面一男子正撬他的奥迪越野车车门。曹先生和朋友没有惊动该男子，而是暗中观察，拨打110报警。
男子正在驾驶室翻东西，民警赶到将其控制，搜出百余元零钱和一把崭新的电动车钥匙。民警通过该钥匙打开了附近的一辆电动车，细心的民警发现，电动车比较旧，钥匙和锁却是崭新的，并不匹配。
民警查询该电动车的有关信息，通过车牌联系到电动车车主吴某。吴某告诉民警，该电动车购买于2014年，今年9月底被盗。
