Police in Bonn formed a special squad to find the 27-year-old man after he stole shoes from women near Bonn, in Cologne and Leverkusen.
His modus operandi was to approach the women on the street, push them over and steal their shoes before running off.
He was arrested on Saturday in Siegen where he was driving his car and was stopped by police.
