Article about a robbery
Looking for someone with inspiration on a Friday morning to help me find a nice way of putting this in English. I have a newspaper article entitled "Nach Hinweis Millionendieb von Fürstenfeldbruck mit Beute gefasst"
The phrase Umfeld des Gesuchten appears twice in the article. In the second sentence after the title above
Hinweis kam aus dem Umfeld des Gesuchten - and then at the end of the article
"Einzelheiten wurden zunächst nicht bekannt. Es soll jedoch einen Hinweis aus dem Umfeld des Gesuchten Ingo S. zum Auffenthaltsort gegeben haben, der zu dem mit internationalen Haftbefehl Gesuchten schließlich in Kroatien führte."
TIA for any suggestions

German term (edited):
Hinweis aus dem Umfeld des Gesuchten
(information provided) by one of his acquaintances
Umfeld refers to individuals in contact with the criminal IMHO.
