A Tajik national is suspected of stealing a luxury crossover in Europe

A citizen of Tajikistan has been detained at the Polish-Belarusian border. He is suspected of stealing an expensive crossover worth 212 thousand dollars.

According to Polish media, at the “Terespole” border crossing on the border with Belarus, officers of the Polish Border Guard stopped a brand new BMW XM 2023 model. As a result of the check, it turned out that the crossover is listed as stolen in Germany.

The driver of the vehicle, a 33-year-old citizen of Tajikistan, wanted to exit to Belarus in the SUV.

The value of the SUV is estimated at no less than 850,000 zlotys (about 212,000 dollars), the report notes.

It is reported that the BMW XM is the most expensive car seized by Polish border guards this year. Last year, 192 vehicles worth 19 million zlotys (over 4 million 734 thousand dollars) were confiscated.

The citizen of Tajikistan has been placed under arrest at the police station in Terespole. The BMW XM 2023 model has been evacuated to a secured parking lot.

The detainee has not communicated with the media. His identity has also not been disclosed.

In recent years, dozens of citizens of Tajikistan have been arrested in European countries for various crimes, including human trafficking, illegal migration, espionage, document forgery, and extremism. Experts claim that the rise in illegal activities among Tajiks will negatively affect the stay of other citizens of Tajikistan in European countries in the future.
