The duty officer received information that, in the Ustronie housing estate, a brazen thief stole a Skoda passenger car from outside its owner’s home. The victim saw only the thief’s back. Taking advantage of the car owner’s inattention, the thief entered his home, took the keys and drove away in the aforementioned Skoda.
Officers found the stolen vehicle several minutes later. The car had been hidden behind garages on the outskirts of the city.
A short while later, the thief was also arrested. Officers recovered the car keys, a navigation device, a dashcam and other items worth a total of PLN 2,200.
The suspect pleaded guilty. The car, worth PLN 30,000, was returned to its owner. The 35-year-old thief faces up to 10 years in prison.
