Darius Lukauskas (31) and Juozas Baltors (28) heard the verdicts on January 27.
The first was sentenced to 4 years and 6 months in prison, the second to 4 years and 9 months in prison.
Juozas Baltors received a more severe punishment for violating deportation rules: a man was deported from England in February 2020 for previous crimes (false testimony, possession of a weapon, robbery), but after 8 days he managed to return under the guise of A stranger.
A case in Peterborough Crown Court was able to prove that the men stole 26 cars last year with a total value of £ 1 million.
The cars were driven in different places; robberies were committed in 10 counties in England.
Darius Lukauskas and Juozas Baltoras’s targets were unlocked cars.
Car thieves are said to have watched them and operated at night, with special equipment scanning the frequencies of the unlocking and starting systems.
They dismantled luxury cars and sold their valuable parts.
According to the investigators of the case, the parties were taken abroad, which was attended by organized criminal groups.
The couple’s black work was halted after Peterborough police last April discovered a black BMW X5 with fake number plates driven by Juozas Baltor; a stop and an inspection revealed that the SUV had recently been stolen in Hampshire.
After finding equipment to scan and lock the frequencies of car systems in the trunk of a car, the driver was arrested and the keys found in his lock at the Peterborough industrial facility stole and dismantled the BMW 7 Series and Audi Q7 . in other parts of England.
During the search, even more equipment used for crimes, stolen cars and photos of them were found.
According to records of telephone conversations and other evidence, another suspect, Darius Lukauskas, who was subsequently abducted, was later identified and fully proven guilty.
The total value of the cars stolen by the men was 1,010,813 pounds sterling (1,143,518 euros). The two scratched their belts: they sometimes stole two cars at night, and on March 6 last year they stole up to three BMWs in different cities, with a total value of 80,000. pound sterling.
