Officers from the Police Station in Kruszyn arrested a 25-year-old resident of Warta Bolesławiecka municipality as a result of operational activities. “The man is suspected of committing four burglaries involving the fuel tanks of trucks and stealing diesel fuel worth a total of PLN 5,000,” says asp. szt. Anna Kublik-Rościszewska, press officer of the County Police Headquarters in Bolesławiec.

She adds:

The suspect was arrested in Gromadka municipality, near a place where truck drivers stop for longer rest breaks. The 25-year-old had various tools in his car that could have been used to commit the offenses.
