A 41-year-old Romanian and a 34-year-old Bulgarian are the perpetrators of the theft of his truck-car of the municipality of Pylos – Nestoroswith which they loaded and stole 33 sacks of olives from Agricultural Cooperative of Glyfada Messinia in the early hours of last Friday.

According to eleftheriaonline.gr, the two foreigners were located and arrested last Saturday night at Gargalianos by police officers from the Pylos-Nestoros Police Department, in collaboration with police officers from the Gargaliani Police Department.

The 41-year-old Romanian and the 34-year-old Bulgarian, who live in Gargalianos, stole late on the evening of Thursday, December 5, a van belonging to the municipality of Pylos – Nestoros from a depot in Chora and then loaded it with 33 sacks of olives from the forecourt of the olive press in Agrotiko Synrismos Glyfada.

They took them by tractor to another oil mill to extract oil!

Then, as emerged from the preliminary investigation, they took the 41-year-old Romanian’s tractor to a nearby field and emptied the olive fruit into other sacks, so that their action would not be known. They then took the 33 sacks to an oil mill to extract oil, telling the owner that the sacks were theirs.
This aroused the suspicion of the owner of the olive mill who informed the police and so it did not take long for them to arrive at their identity and arrest them.
It should be noted that earlier they had returned the van of the municipality of Pylos – Nestoros to the place where it had been stolen, in Chora.
The value of the olive tree stolen by the two foreigners is estimated at 1,500 euros.
A case file was filed against them for theft and tomorrow Monday they are expected to be brought to the Kyparissia First District Prosecutor to apologize.
A preliminary investigation is being carried out by the Pylos-Nestoros Police Department and it is being examined whether the two foreigners had committed other thefts in the area recently
