Two 19-year-olds from the island of Ugljan fled the scene of an accident, and after a criminal investigation, the police filed a criminal complaint with the Municipal State Attorney's Office in Zadar.
Officers of the Zadar maritime and airport police have concluded an investigation against two young men, Croatian citizens, aged 19, suspected of committing the criminal offense of theft. According to a statement from the Zadar police, the young men stole a parked truck owned by a commercial company on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at around 11:30 PM in the town of Kali on the island of Ugljan.
With the stolen vehicle, the suspects then drove towards Neviđane on the island of Pašman. Their drive was interrupted on a section of state road DC-110, where they collided with a metal lighting pole, after which they exited the vehicle and fled the scene of the accident.
As a result of the vehicle's impact with the pole and sparks, a fire broke out, spreading to the surrounding low vegetation and olive and fig trees. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire, and police officers conducted an on-site investigation. The amount of material damage caused will be assessed subsequently.
Following the criminal investigation, the police filed a criminal complaint against both suspects with the competent Municipal State Attorney's Office in Zadar. Both are charged with the criminal offense of theft.
