Tourist theft, police record 35 cases. Cutting Even Foreigners

State police say that during this tourist season, 35 thefts or robberies have been registered so far in coastal areas, but mountain areas, which are frequented by local and foreign vacationers.

And if we look at August, the theft targets were cell phones, in one case we have auto theft, another safe theft, and the wallets and the necklaces are more numerous, numbering 10 cases. There is a difference in this tourist season, because apart from the damage of Albanian citizens, we have even injured foreign citizens in 15 cases, including Kosovar, Macedonians, Swedes, Poles”, said Albert Dervisaj, director of Order at the General Directorate of State Police.

Public Order Director Albert Dervisaj tells Top Channel that several young people have been cuffed, who carried out their thefts in the group while investigations follow up on several other unmet events.

One of the mechanisms they use is that, after two or three thefts have been carried out, so they can escape police prosecution as well as follow crime in another country. Such a mechanism has appeared on several occasions, where traveling elements have carried out thefts at various locations in our country”, Dervisaj stressed.

Saranda police arrested several young people shortly ago, committing massive thefts of weapons and violence across the border in the villages of Igumenica. / Top Channel /
