The burglary took place early in the morning on July 17 in Piechowice. The couple—a 45-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man—broke into one of the grocery discount stores. They stole cigarettes of various brands worth more than PLN 4,000.
The break-in triggered an alarm, which alarmed one of the residents. The man notified the police. He reported that the people suspected of the act had most likely driven away in a BMW. Police officers began searching for them.
They spotted the vehicle at one of the petrol stations in Jelenia Góra. The driver turned out to be a 37-year-old resident of Bogatynia, who was travelling with a 45-year-old female passenger. Police officers found a bag containing the stolen cigarettes in the car. Moreover, the man had amphetamine on him.
The couple suspected of burglarizing the grocery discount store in Piechowice was taken into police custody. Both now face up to 10 years in prison.
