EU arrest warrant

Police stop three criminals on southern highway

The handcuffs clicked on Friday for a man who is wanted throughout Europe. He and his co-driver were caught during a vehicle check. Investigators found other criminal acts in the perpetrators' car!

The end of the line for three thieves was on the south highway near Sternberg near Villach. The police carried out a vehicle check there. The investigators quickly noticed that the driver had a forged Serbian driver's license and one of the two passengers had a forged Slovenian passport.

But that was not all: numerous high-priced items of clothing were found in the vehicle, for which the initially unknown persons were unable to produce any proof of ownership. The items of clothing were seized and the Serbs were provisionally arrested.

As if that wasn't enough, it turned out that one of the three men was the subject of an outstanding EU arrest warrant. Arrest!
