129 stolen vehicles seized in Western Balkans

Three days of intensive law enforcement activity have resulted in the seizure of 129 stolen vehicles with an estimated value of almost EUR 2 million. Among the stolen vehicles seized were cars, trucks and construction machinery

Police also carried out 328 000 checks and 49 people were arrested on charges of trafficking stolen vehicles, illegal immigration and possession of drugs, weapons and falsified documents.


'Joint Police Operation (JPO) Europe 2013' was led by Italy and, with Europol's support, saw the participation of law enforcement authorities from Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and the United Kingdom. 


In addition, EULEX, Eurojust, Frontex and Interpol took part in the operation. The aim of the Joint Police Operation was to target vehicles stolen in the EU and smuggled eastwards. Involved law enforcement authorities were active on a 24-hour basis from 26 to 28 September 2013 in a wide geographical area, mainly covering southeast Europe.


This action was one of the key planned activities developed in the framework of the EMPACT-project on Western Balkans. Its organisation took several months and was intricately planned to allow for the first ever deployment of joint EU-Western Balkan patrols on the ground. 


Italy, in particular, deployed officers in all of the Western Balkan countries to share expertise on stolen vehicles and to support local police with their checks.


Thousands of law enforcement officers were deployed for 'Joint Police Operation Europe 2013, and Europol's operational room in The Hague ensured fast cross-checks of data and the effective coordination of involved police, customs officers, border guards and the judiciary.
