Police conducted eleven home searches in Olt and Dolj counties related to copper thefts worth approximately €350,000 across several European countries. Six individuals are under investigation, with three European arrest warrants issued by Austrian authorities. The operation was coordinated by the Olt County Police and involved collaboration with Austrian judicial authorities. The suspects, aged 21 to 33, allegedly stole copper from various businesses between February and July 2026, using stolen vehicles. Investigations suggest criminal activities extended beyond Austria and Romania to several other European nations. Evidence was seized during the searches, and two suspects have been located, while one remains at large.
