Georgian immigrants again! Warsaw Police arrested 4 criminals

In fresh years Poland has become an attractive destination for migration, but with the influx of foreigners the scale of crime committed by any national groups is besides increasing. fresh events from Warsaw's Targówka, where 4 Georgian citizens have been detained for burglary and burglary, are part of the wider problem of expanding crime among migrants from this country.

In early February 2025, the capital police detained 4 Georgians between the ages of 38 and 54, who broke into 2 cars in the parking lot of the mall in Targówek. They were looted by 20 1000 zlotys and a telephone charger. The perpetrators moved on Ford Mondeo and Alfa Romeo, and 1 of the vehicles was previously utilized in the theft of fuel at a gas station in Żabice. Thanks to the fast consequence of police and the smooth operation, criminals were detained and the court decided to temporarily arrest them for 3 months. However, this is not an isolated case – the crime committed by Georgian citizens in Poland and another European countries is getting stronger, and the gangs of thieves from the Caucasus are becoming increasingly organized and brazen.

Although many Georgian citizens come to Poland in search of honest work and better life, any of them engage in criminal activities, especially theft, burglary and fraud. In many European countries, Georgians represent a crucial proportion of those detained for crimes against property. Unfortunately, the available data and media reports indicate that Poland is another mark for them.

In fresh years, European media have repeatedly reported on organised crime originating in the Caucasus countries. Georgian gangs of thieves operate in Germany, France, Spain and Scandinavia. They are celebrated for stealing in shops and buying malls, where they specialize in the fast lifting of valuables. They frequently break into apartments, carefully observing their victims before the attack. In Western European cities, they are notoriously detained for pocket stealing, especially in public transportation. Information on frauds and frauds, which usage false papers and identities, is besides increasing.

Poland, as a border country of the European Union, is becoming an increasingly attractive place for criminal groups that exploit visa liberalisation between the EU and Georgia. Between 2018 and 2024, there was an increase in the number of detentions of Georgian citizens for theft and burglary offences. The police emphasize that many of them operate in a structured manner utilizing techniques known from another European countries. They frequently travel in cars on abroad registration numbers, usage false documents, and exploit the weaknesses of the asylum strategy to avoid responsibility.

Recent events rise questions about the effectiveness of border controls and migration policies. Although most Georgians come to Poland legally and with honest intentions, the expanding number of crimes committed by people from this country is worrying. Should Poland tighten the rules on the residence of Georgian citizens? Do you request more restrictive deportation procedures for those convicted of criminal offences? These questions are becoming increasingly applicable in the face of increasing immigration and public safety problems.

The detention of Georgian thieves at the Fairground is just 1 example of the increasing crime problem among migrants. Poland, like another European countries, faces the challenge of uncovering a balance between openness and security. 1 thing is certain – vigilance and decisive action is needed to prevent further cases of impunity of criminal groups from abroad.
