A 25-year-old man has been arrested by Tirana Police, suspected of forcibly stealing a 17-year-old's wallet, threatening him with a knife and causing bodily harm.
The incident was reported on October 20, 2026 by the minor, who stated that he was attacked on "Hoxha Tasim" Street by an unknown person at that moment.
Regarding a video published on social networks, in which it is alleged that the Police services have intervened during the night in a family's apartment, we clarify that:
On 20.10.2026, a minor citizen, 17 years old, reported that, on "Hoxha Tasim" street, an unknown citizen, under the threat of a cutting tool (knife), had forcibly stolen his wallet, causing bodily harm.
As a result of rapid investigative actions, the services of Police Commissariat No. 1 have made it possible to identify and detain, on the evening of 22.10.2026, citizen FM, 25 years old, for the criminal offense of "Theft by force".
Following procedural actions, the Police services conducted a search of this citizen's apartment.
At the time when the Police services were about to search the apartment, the 25-year-old's father and sister opposed the Police officers, with the aim of obstructing them from searching the apartment.
Following the actions, citizens FM and MM were prosecuted at large for the criminal offenses of "Obstructing the discovery of the truth" and "Opposing a public order police officer."
The procedural materials were referred to the Prosecutor's Office for further action.
