In Poland eliminated a gang of car thieves, among the detainees was a citizen of Ukraine

In Poland, police eliminated a gang that stole cars, then “legalized” them and prepared them for re-sale. Belta writes about it.

As a result of two raids, seven people were arrested and 25 stolen cars were seized with a total value of about 1.5 million zlotys (more than $ 395,000). Five suspects have been taken into custody, Warsaw police said on their website.

The case began with a report of theft of a passenger car worth approximately 105 thousand zlotys ($ 27.6 thousand) from a parking lot in Warsaw. The car was not hacked or stolen, but was stolen with a tow truck. Police officers analyzed the information, studied the recordings of video cameras. This allowed to restore the scheme of actions of the attackers and identify the tow truck used to steal the car.

The collected data led police to the site in the city of Zelenka. They set up surveillance of the territory. When the tow truck left the site, immediate action was taken. In the cabin were four men aged 34 to 42 years. They were detained. Three were Polish citizens and one was a Ukrainian citizen.

During the search of the territory, police found a car stolen a few days earlier in one of the districts of Warsaw. They also found other vehicles there. One of the cars was partially dismantled and was listed in police bases as stolen in Warsaw. Its value was estimated at more than 92 thousand zlotys ($ 24.3 thousand). Another vehicle was identified as being wanted outside Poland. The car was stolen in the Netherlands. Police also seized a car with cut signs.

In one of the vehicles, police seized items that could have been used to break into the vehicle's security system and facilitate the theft. Phones were also seized.

Four detainees were accused of joint theft of cars using a tow truck and theft of property from cars. They were detained for three months. One of the detainees, a 42-year-old man, was wanted on the basis of an arrest warrant.

The police continued their investigation and found a large number of auto parts and components in another territory, as well as another car stolen during the robbery. The cost of this car was estimated at about 94 thousand zlotys ($ 24.8 thousand). Three more men were arrested. Two have been charged. One of the suspects, a 33-year-old Polish, was detained.

Police said the investigation was ongoing. Suspects are implicated in other car thefts, the sale of stolen vehicles and the “legalization” of stolen vehicles.
