The Delfi portal was the first to report this event on Tuesday. Julia Samorokovskaja, representative of Vilnius County VPK lrytas.lt confirmed that there was such an incident, but said that he could not provide much information during the pre-trial investigation.
According to preliminary data, last Tuesday (April 9) evening, the officers of the Organized Crime Investigation Board of the Vilnius Criminal Police conducted a search at VAGraičiūno St. in warehouses. The search was conducted as part of a pre-trial drug investigation.
According to a police spokeswoman, during the search, four men (born in 1980, 1981, 1987 and 1989) resisted the officers, and one of them pulled out an object similar to a pistol and shot the officers. In response to the resistance, the officers also used weapons.
After the shots were fired, the suspects ran away, but were later apprehended.
No one required medical attention during the incident.
It is not yet clear what kind of weapon – combat, gas, toy or some other – was used by the suspects. It has not been announced whether the weapon was later found with the suspects.
The public was not informed about this incident at that time.
After the incident, a pre-trial investigation into resisting the officers was launched.
