Huge jump – stolen toys on three trucks
While searching the apartment in Royal Park near Adelaide, officers found around 2,500 stolen items including 1700 packed LEGO boxes. The cargo was so big, three trucks were needed to transport it. Over $250,000 Australian (over half a million zlotys) is one of the largest values recovered during the action against retail thefts in the region.
Details of detention and suspect
41 years mężczyzna został aresztowany i usłyszał zarzuty kradzieży. Ma stanąć przed sądem w Port Adelaide pod koniec września. Police wskazuje, że skradzione przedmioty pochodziły z różnych sklepów na terenie miasta, a ich zbycie miało się odbywać poprzez sprzedaż internetową.
In addition to blocks LEGO, soft toys, water pistols and toy cars of famous brands such as Pokémon, Barbie, Hello Kitty and Tomek and Friends were also found.
Operation ‘Measure’, leading to special preventive and repressive actions, has led to a large number of arrests – about 2,500 suspects of similar acts since the beginning of the year. This led to a marked decrease in the number of shoplifting in the state, especially by 6% in June.
