Criminal police in Vilnius are currently conducting a pre-trial investigation into an operation defined as illegal possession of devices and software according to the Lithuanian Criminal Code. This investigation is overseen by the Vilnius District Prosecutor's Office and aims to address the rising concerns around illegal SIM card operations.

In a precedent-setting operation conducted in October 2025, police identified locations of SIM Box farms and detained individuals involved in the scheme. The investigation revealed a significant network of SIM boxes, with the discovery of around 200 SIM Box devices, 100 computers, and approximately 75,000 SIM cards from various operators. This discovery indicates not only local criminal activities but suggests potential fraud operations extending beyond Lithuania.

As authorities continue their complex and secretive investigation efforts, the implications of this case could have wider ramifications for telecom security and regulatory measures in Lithuania and possibly influence legal frameworks surrounding the use of technology in crime. This situation highlights the importance of ongoing vigilance against such technological abuses, which can undermine legitimate telecommunications operations and pose risks to consumer security.
