Man surrenders to Police after running for 14 years

After years of hiding abroad, a 40-year-old resident of Gdańsk, wanted on arrest warrants, turned himself in to the police.

The man, aware of his situation, decided to face the consequences of his actions.

This event surprised the officers and became an example of an unusual attitude towards the justice system.

Yesterday morning, in the Gdańsk police station building, the 40-year-old man, wanted by courts in Koszalin and Gdynia, arrived with a bag, ready to serve a sentence of over 4.5 years in prison for burglary.

This incident sheds light on the psychological aspects of life on the run and the complicated emotions that can accompany those wanted by the law.
