Police in Legnica have detained a 44-year-old man suspected of unlawfully imprisoning his stepson, subjecting him to violence and making criminal threats. According to Google News PL — Crime (pl), the man had previously threatened his own wife, against whom a court-ordered restraining order was in force.
According to officers' findings, several days ago the 44-year-old deceived his stepson into leaving the flat, then unlawfully imprisoned him and subjected him to physical violence and threats to kill or cause him bodily harm.
Information about the incident was immediately reported to Legnica police. Officers quickly established that the suspect had left the city. Police from Wrocław joined the operation, jointly analysing the gathered operational data. The trail led to Karpacz — where the 44-year-old attempted to hide. Officers established his exact location and made the arrest. The man was transported to Legnica, where further procedural steps were carried out.
The evidence gathered allowed charges to be brought against him for unlawful imprisonment, making criminal threats against his wife and stepson, and violating the restraining order forbidding him from approaching his wife and contacting her.
The 44-year-old has an extensive criminal history — he had previously been convicted of offences against life and health. At the prosecutor's request, the court ordered his remand in custody. The man will spend the next three months in detention.
