Last Thursday in Warsaw, there were spectacular detentions of 3 Georgian citizens who are suspected of committing a brazen theft of money from a convoy car from the marketplace chain. The perpetrators, aged 57, 47, and 34, acted in a thoughtful and professional manner, which did not prevent them from falling apart. Now they are facing 10 years in prison.
Half a million gold theft
For respective months now, Wielkopolska police have been conducting an intensive investigation into 2 large sums of money stolen from convoys carrying receipts from shops of the popular commercial network. The case was handled by officers from the Provincial Police office in Poznań. As they stress, the analysis of the material collected and the forensic evidence secured proved crucial.
"As a consequence of the analysis of the material collected in the case and the secured forensic evidence, suspects were selected. The territory Attorney's Office in Poznań has been informed about all the findings, which has been actively active in the case," we read in a police communication.
Thoughtful Crime Action
The way the group acted was highly precise. The perpetrators first carefully observed the selected location and then, at the time of arrival of the convoys under the market, blocked the radio signal key. This prevented the car from effectively closing. While the convoy was at the store picking up the money, the suspects opened the van door, took cash from the safe, and ran distant with a fake licence plate. The car was abandoned further distant and then moved to another vehicle.

They took cash out of the safe and ran distant with a fake licence plate. The car was abandoned further away. They moved to another car and ran away" - explained KWP in Poznań.
All the leads led to Warsaw
After an intensive investigation, all leads pointed to Warsaw, where 3 Georgians were traced and detained. It turned out that they were suspected not only of theft in Wielkopolska, but besides of a akin crime in Wrocław, where on 29 November last year they stole almost half a million zlotys.
"There is now a review and analysis of akin cases, especially those in Wielkopolska. There are serious suspicions that the same group of people are behind these thefts," the police stress.
Even 10 years in prison
The detainees heard a charge of burglary and were temporarily arrested. Now they have a trial in which they can be sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. Police do not exclude that the group may be liable for more akin crimes in Poland.
Summary
The action of Wielkopolska police officers is another example of the effective operation of services in the fight against organised crime. Thanks to advanced investigative methods, they managed to halt dangerous criminals who had been acting unpunished for a long time. Now they have a fair punishment.
