In Kaunas, a minor suspected of theft resisted law enforcement officers

A minor in Kaunas, suspected of theft, attempted to resist police officers during an inspection, leading to his arrest.

In Kaunas, Lithuania, a minor born in 2009 was apprehended after a theft incident at a shopping center on King Mindaugas Avenue. Security personnel at the center alerted the police after suspecting the minor of theft. When the police arrived and began to inspect the individual, the minor actively resisted their actions, complicating the situation and prompting further legal measures.

The police reported that the minor did not seek medical treatment despite potential physical pain resulting from the confrontation. He was subsequently placed in custody, where it was discovered that he had a blood alcohol concentration of 2.10 per mille, indicating significant intoxication. This led to additional concerns about his wellbeing and the circumstances surrounding his behavior at the time of the incident.

As a result of the resistance shown towards law enforcement, officials have initiated a pre-trial investigation into the circumstances of the minor's actions, particularly as it pertains to the resistance against a public servant or someone performing public administrative duties. This case highlights ongoing issues regarding juvenile delinquency and the impact of substance use among minors in Lithuania.
