The Police Services, after receiving a report that a Land Rover vehicle had been stolen in Dhërmi, organized the operation, where thanks to the quick response they were able to locate and stop the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle did not obey the Police order and, during the maneuvers to leave, caused damage to the stolen vehicle, the police announced.
At the end of the actions, citizen N. Xh., 25 years old, resident of Durrës, was arrested for the criminal offenses: “Attempted Theft”, committed in collaboration, “Disobedience to a Police Order” and “Leaving the Scene of an Accident”, while the 17-year-old was arrested for the criminal offenses: “Attempted Theft”, committed in collaboration, “Irregular Driving”, “Destruction of Property” and “Disobedience to a Police Order”.
Preliminary investigations show that, on 30.04.2026, in the evening, the two citizens had gone to Dhërmi in a “Benz” vehicle, initially with the intention of purchasing a “Land Rover” vehicle, used by a citizen residing in Tirana. Taking advantage of the owner’s absence, the 17-year-old had started the vehicle and left without his permission.
The investigation also revealed that the 17-year-old, who had taken the "Land Rover" vehicle, had collaborated with a 25-year-old, who was caught in the "Kushtrimi" neighborhood in Vlora, while the vehicle in which she had gone to Dhërmi had crashed in Palasa and abandoned it.
Two vehicles were seized as material evidence, the vehicle that was attempted to be stolen and the perpetrators' vehicle.
The procedural materials were referred to the Prosecutor's Office for further action.
