A 19-year-old man has been arrested in Gjirokastra, suspected of twice stealing money from the cash register of a religious building in the "Partizani" neighborhood. What makes the case even more special is that the young man had just completed his prison sentence for the criminal offense of theft a week earlier.

The Gjirokastra police announced that the thefts took place on the evenings of November 8 and 9, when sums of money were taken from the cash register of the religious institution. After the administrator of the religious institution reported the theft, the police immediately launched an investigation, enabling the identification and location of the suspected perpetrator.

As part of the operation codenamed "Arka", 19-year-old K. Ll., a resident of Gjirokastra, was arrested. Meanwhile, investigations continue to clarify and document with legal evidence whether the young man is also the author of other thefts.

The procedural materials have been referred to the Gjirokastra Prosecutor's Office for further action.
