German Media Says 10 Georgians Detained for Burglary

Ten Georgians are reported among the 15 detained as a result of a large scale special operation carried out by police in Germany.

German news agency sz-online.de claims that the detained people are of age 26-38 and were arrested for burglary and theft.

600 law enforcement officers were involved in the special operations that seized the haul of stolen items as a result of a search in 35 apartments.

Those arrested are now in pretrial detention. Citizens of Latvia and Vietnam were also taken into custody.

The German federal police spokesperson said that this was one of the largest scale operations they had carried out.

“Georgians mainly used to steal drinks, cigarettes, coffee, children’s food and perfumes. Four cars, a large amount of money and a small amount of drugs were also seized during the operation.”
