Criminal investigators from the Bolesławiec Police unit, while carrying out activities related to a burglary and theft from a cellar, arrested two suspects. The crime took place during the May holiday weekend in the city.
Electronic tools and a bicycle were stolen during the burglary. The man identified from the outset as the perpetrator knew well what the victim had in the cellar; he left one device behind because he knew it was not working. The total losses were valued at PLN 14,500.
The first person arrested was a 21-year-old man, who was charged with burglary and theft. The second suspect in the case is a 53-year-old fence, in whose cellar police officers secured items originating from the crime.
Police officers located part of the burglar’s loot in a wooded area near the crime scene, where the 21-year-old had hidden an item because of its large size. Property worth PLN 14,000 was recovered in total.
Burglary and theft is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, while receiving stolen goods is punishable by up to 5 years.
