A little later, on Monday, the man shared a continuation of the story. This time he described how the authorities reacted to the situation.
“I can openly say that the Lithuanian police demonstrate an unwillingness to work. The window was broken, the police were called within a minute, arrival after two hours, there are plenty of cameras around during the day. So if some misfortune happens again, I hope they will be calm knowing they did everything they could. I respect the authorities, but that feeling when they do everything to stop any investigation so they don’t have to do anything, I understand that they are understaffed, but is this a problem of mine as a citizen who pays taxes and lives here?” he said.
Tomas Bražėnas, senior specialist of the Communications Division of the Vilnius County Chief Police Commissariat, revealed to the portal Žmonės.lt that an investigation has been launched regarding the incident.
