Crackdown on Motor Vehicle Larceny Culprits

In a significant development, a suspected gang involved in large-scale car thefts has been apprehended by police units in Rhein-Kreis Neuss on Good Friday, April 2, 2021. The arrests led to the discovery of a large number of packaged parts of high-value cars in Essen.

The suspects, three men of Lithuanian nationality, aged 27, 33, and 37, were initially stopped by police officers in Neuss but were later released due to lack of evidence. However, further investigation led to their arrest and subsequent appearance before the remand judge on the day of their arrest. They are currently in custody.

The investigation, primarily led by police authorities from North Rhine-Westphalia, has also extended to the Netherlands, where a BMW X6 stolen in Essen was secured in Breda. The exact involvement of authorities from other countries is not explicitly stated.

Criminal investigators are now examining whether the arrested individuals are responsible for further offenses in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) or beyond. It's important to note that no new facts have been extracted from the investigation that are relevant to the car theft operation.
