Over 100,000 Euros Stolen from Security Vehicle in Izola

Koper criminal investigators are actively probing the brazen theft of cash from a security service vehicle in Izola, which occurred on Monday. The incident, classified as a major theft executed through burglary, saw perpetrators break into the vehicle and make off with a significant sum of money.

Authorities have confirmed that the perpetrators arrived in a car with Italian license plates and fled the scene after the theft. Investigators are meticulously gathering all available evidence and information, collaborating with both domestic and international police units to track down those responsible.

This theft is being examined for potential connections to similar incidents that have occurred this year in the Koper and Ljubljana regions. Police are particularly interested in a similar crime that took place on Thursday, prompting close cooperation with Ljubljana's criminal investigators. Early findings suggest the modus operandi in both Izola and Ljubljana cases is identical.

Media reports indicate that the vehicles involved belong to the security company Aktiva varovanje, and the amount stolen in Izola is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of euros. Police are appealing to the public for any useful information that could aid their investigation, thanking citizens for the tips already received.
