Police officers from the station in Kruszyn identified a suspect in a series of gutter thefts. The crimes took place between January 20 and 23 in Bolesławiec municipality.
The 33-year-old resident of Bolesławiec County entered the victim’s property three times and, in broad daylight, tore the gutters from the house—piece by piece. The losses were estimated at nearly PLN 1,300.
At the 33-year-old’s place of residence, officers found some of the stolen property. The gutters had been damaged because the suspect had crushed them. He had already managed to sell part of the loot at a non-ferrous metal recycling centre.
The man admitted his guilt and gave a statement. He now faces a sentence of between three months and five years in prison.
