Police officers from the Umag Police Station with the Buje detachment have completed a criminal investigation concerning the offence of theft. The investigative procedure was conducted against a 44-year-old and a 46-year-old German national, who are suspected of having committed the aforementioned offence. The incident occurred on 9 August in a shop located on Poduzetnika Street in Umag.
According to established facts, the suspected pair stole perfumes from the aforementioned shop on two occasions. The first theft took place during the afternoon, while the suspects returned to the premises in the evening. At that time, they removed four perfumes from the shop, which led to further disruption of public order and peace.
The legal entity with its seat in Zagreb suffered material damage amounting to several hundred euros. A shop employee noticed the attempt at a second theft and decided to intervene. She tried to prevent the 44-year-old German national from further removing goods, but the suspect pushed her away.
Following the push, the German national attempted to flee with the stolen goods. In the ensuing scuffle between the two women, namely the employee and the suspect, both sustained minor injuries. Despite physical resistance, the employee managed to detain the thief at the scene until the arrival of police officers.
The police will submit a criminal report against the aforementioned German nationals to the competent state attorney's office in the regular procedure. Officers have thereby concluded all necessary actions related to establishing the facts and collecting evidence for the purposes of further judicial proceedings.
