  1. Yea right , members of the police were in these rings ..it is well known here in Slovakia . Given the changes in Government , I guess the local Commander needed a quick score and high profile result to help keep his easy job and salary and so he fingered his former business friends.

    You note 160 police in action , TWO culprits found …hardly a car ring ?

  2. Well done!
