Tirana police forces arrested on Tuesday afternoon two more persons in connection with the robbery of USD 3.2 million from two armored vehicles on the road to Rinas airport a few weeks ago. 

Aleksander Murataj, 41, and Dritan Sinani, 43, were arrested as part of a raid coded “Patriot”.

The number of those arrested so far due to their involvement in the armed robbery of this conspicuous sum of money on February 9 from a 2nd level bank while being transported to Rinas goes to 8.

Fatjon Xhyliu, Ditjon Memlika, Neim Avdyli, Ernest Kupa, Admir Çerpja and Dash Kupa have been arrested earlier by the police in connection to this armed robbery.

Part of the stolen money was found by the police in a number of pots hidden underground in different areas.
