They disabled the surveillance system and stole about 800 registered parcels. Slovenská Pošta spokesperson Andrea Pivarčiová told SITA that damages amounted to at least Sk1.3 million.

Slovenská Pošta is offering a reward of Sk100,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the offenders.
