Transcarpathian police have found a "Skoda Yeti", which was stolen in the Czech Republic at the end of 2014. The price of the car in Ukraine is about 20 thousand dollars, its price in the EU is 2 times lower.

Last night, July 19, crews of patrol police Uzhgorod and Mukachevo received from the Interpol the information about a car on Sobranetska street in Uzhgorod, which was in the wanted list. The policemen checked the number of the car body and the documents of the driver and found out that the "Skoda Yeti" had been stolen in the EU, namely the Czech Republic.

The investigative team was called at the scene. They interviewed the driver and took the vehicle to the impound lot of Uzhgorod Police Department. The current owner of the car said that he had bought the car and knew nothing about its origin.
