Bolesławiec police officers determined where a vehicle worth PLN 3,000, stolen in a burglary, might be located. The officers:
The car, already partially damaged, was found in the yard used by a 40-year-old resident of Bolesławiec County. As it turned out, he had accepted the vehicle as part of a settlement, knowing that it came from an illegal source.
The man was arrested and charged with handling stolen goods, an offense punishable by up to five years in prison.
The perpetrator of the theft was then arrested by the officers. (The crime took place at the beginning of June this year in the Nowogrodziec municipality.) The 30-year-old resident of Bolesławiec County now faces a sentence of between one and as many as ten years in prison.
