Polish law enforcement agencies have conducted various operations targeting robbery, drug trafficking, and traffic violations. Initial reports highlighted widespread arrests for crimes including the robbery of an elderly woman and a taxi driver. Significant drug enforcement efforts resulted in the seizure of over 450 kg of narcotics in Szczecin and the dismantling of a 3-CMC production operation in the Sądecczyzna region. Other activities included shutting down an illegal online shop and the arrest of a Ukrainian national wanted via an Interpol Red Notice. Subsequent enforcement actions in the Mazovia region focused on traffic safety and drug possession. The Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime (CBZC) reported over 900 arrests and the seizure of 51.5 million PLN in assets during the first half of 2026, targeting romance scams and social media hijacking. Additionally, the CBZC and Customs and Tax Administration (KAS) dismantled an illegal online shop selling excise-free vapes. Traffic safety remains a persistent focus. Recent incidents include a fatal collision near Zwolen where a car struck a deer, killing a 34-year-old passenger, and a fatal collision in Witaszyczki involving a cyclist and a truck. Other road incidents include a collision in Chociszew, a tractor overturning in Mieszków, and a fatal hit-and-run in Oszczeklin. In August 2026, reports highlighted a surge in road incidents, including a moose collision in Lisia Góra and a four-car pileup on road 984. ~~Newer data indicates~~ Pedestrian-related incidents have seen a significant ~~number of pedestrian-related incidents,~~ rise, with ~~217~~ statistics now showing 240 accidents ~~reported since the start of the~~ involving pedestrians this year, ~~causing~~ resulting in 14 deaths and 20 437 injuries. ~~Recent accidents include a collision near Uzdowo and Nidzica and a crash in Ostrów Wielkopolski detected by the eCall system.~~ Law enforcement has also noted a ~~case~~ surge in ~~Jełowa~~ violations involving young drivers and electric vehicles, such as a ~~34-year-old motorcyclist driving under the influence of alcohol~~ 14-year-old operating an illegal electric cross and ~~drugs~~ a 25-year-old using ~~forged plates while under~~ a ~~lifetime driving ban.~~ modified electric scooter capable of reaching 50 km/h.
