Two young men have been arrested by the Himara Police after they attempted to steal a vehicle in Dhërmi. A 25-year-old and a 17-year-old, accomplices in this criminal activity, have been arrested. Meanwhile, two vehicles have been seized, one belonging to the perpetrators and the other to the one they attempted to steal.

According to the police report, on 30.04.2026, in the evening, the two young men had gone to Dhërmi in a “Benz” vehicle, initially with the intention of purchasing a “Land Rover” vehicle, used by a citizen residing in Tirana. Taking advantage of the owner’s absence, the 17-year-old had started the vehicle and left without his permission.

The investigation also revealed that the 17-year-old, who had taken the "Land Rover" vehicle, had collaborated with the 25-year-old, who was caught in the "Kushtrimi" neighborhood in Vlora, while he had crashed the vehicle he had used to go to Dhërmi in Palasa and abandoned it.
