Vilnius County Officials with the Criminal Police Property Crime Investigation Board of the Chief Police Commissioner, who specialize in the detection and prevention of pickpockets, conducted a detailed analysis of the situation in the capital, with an increase in pickpockets on public transport. The coroners accepted the job and there was no need to wait long for the result.
On July 20, at approximately 11 a.m., a pickpocket was arrested with evidence, as he had been convicted several times before for theft. The suspect (born 1981) pulled and stole a cell phone from a woman’s purse on public transportation, on a 3G bus. Only this time the pickpocket was unhappy with the loot for a long time: Forensic scientists immediately arrested him, found him, and stole a phone from him, reports Vilnius County Police.
Pickpockets closely monitor and select the potential victim, follow them, and if the opportunity arises, steal the potential victim’s property, usually a wallet or mobile phone. This time, the suspect did not even realize he was being watched by “invisible” police officers, although he was very careful and controlled the movement of those around him. The arrested man was taken to the police station and then detained. A pre-trial investigation has been launched.
Officials of the Criminal Police Property Investigation Board of Criminal Police suspect that this man has committed more crimes of a similar nature, therefore he asks people who have been victims or have information about his criminal activities to be contact Vilnius County.

Police officers often discover that people keep and carry their wallets, cell phones, or other valuables in open bags, back pants pockets, or other places easily accessible to thieves in public places, markets, public transportation. Such irresponsibility causes criminals to steal or even steal. Authorities urge residents to store their belongings more carefully in mass gathering places, on public transportation. Particular vigilance should be exercised in public transport when a bus or trolleybus has a large number of passengers, i. and. in the morning, during lunch and at night, because for pickpockets, congestion is the most favorable condition to implement their intentions.
If any part of your body is compressed during congestion, be on the lookout, as it’s not uncommon for pickpockets to artificially cause congestion when they work in groups. Also, valuables (wallets, players, cell phones, etc.) should not be kept in backpacks or bags behind their backs, as they are easy to reach when cut or opened. It is also advisable to keep wallets with documents and money in the inside pockets of the jackets or in hard-to-reach places in the bag, and to store and carry bags in the front.
The Penal Code of the Republic of Lithuania establishes a fine or arrest, or restriction of liberty, or imprisonment of up to six years for the theft of another person’s property, clothing, bag or other carrier of a person (pickpocketing).
