Three stolen vehicles have been seized by Fier Police in the second phase of the codename operation “Hija e Natës” (“Shadow of the Night”). According to the official version, the vehicles were found in Kurbin and Krujë and are suspected of having been intended for use in criminal events, while the investigation remains open into other people involved.
What police said about the operation
According to police, the second phase of the operation concluded with the discovery and seizure of three stolen vehicles, as well as several other items considered of interest to the investigation.
The statement presents the action as the result of investigative steps and field checks by the structures of the Fier Local Police Directorate. However, authorities have not yet provided full details on the people suspected of moving or hiding the vehicles.
Where the seized vehicles were found
The vehicles were found in the Fushë-Mamurras area of Kurbin and in Borizanë, Krujë. According to police, it was precisely in these areas that the vehicles are suspected of having been placed for use in criminal events.
Beyond this claim, the statement provides no additional data on the type of criminal events under investigation, nor on the concrete links between the seized vehicles and the wanted individuals.
From which areas the vehicles had been stolen
According to the police’s preliminary investigation, two of the vehicles were stolen on November 13, 2026, in Mallakastër, while the third vehicle was reported stolen on September 13, 2026, in Divjakë.
These details provide only the basic route of the vehicles, but not how they ended up in other counties or who transported them to Kurbin and Krujë.
What is known so far about the suspected group
Police claim it is a group that stole vehicles with the aim of using them in criminal events. In the first phase of the operation, according to authorities, five theft cases were solved, one person was arrested and two others were declared wanted.
In this second phase, investigations are continuing to identify other people involved and to fully document the suspected criminal activity. So far, police have not made public the identities of the other suspects or detailed evidence supporting their version that the vehicles were to be used in crimes.
The seizure of the three vehicles expands the case file of operation “Hija e Natës,” but some of the key elements of the case remain at the level of suspicion and official statement.
For now, the only publicly confirmed details are the places where the vehicles were found, the areas where they were stolen, and the fact that police are continuing the search for other people involved.
