In April, law enforcement conducted an operation against a group that was stealing cars in Germany and then dismantling and selling them in Poland. Two men were caught red-handed in a garage in Gdańsk County — they were dismantling a stolen Toyota. Other spare parts were also found on site, as well as tobacco products without excise duty.
Tego samego dnia aresztowano dwie kolejne kobiety. Zgodnie z ustaleniami śledztwa były one odpowiedzialne za transport skradzionych samochodów i ich demontaż. Podczas przeszukań znaleziono u nich dokumenty do samochodów oraz amfetaminę.
Later, the police conducted actions in Wejherowo County. There, a group was storing spare parts and selling them online. Investigators have already confirmed that some of the parts belong to at least eight stolen Toyota vehicles.
