| Several armored cars in the police region in Tirana seized by people who could not justify their wealth |
About 700 armored cars circulate with permission in Albania. They belong to individuals, the state, or physical security companies.
In Tirana, Durrës, and Shkodër, cities dominated by criminal events, the largest number of anti-bullet cars were registered, Euronews Albania reports.
94 people in Albania drive in armored cars. At least those who have registered them in their names and not those of physical security companies.
The latter, like state institutions, have the authorization to circulate with armored vehicles in their ownership, which includes vans for transporting money and people or cars that can be rented.
Tirana and Durrës are the cities where the most individuals move with bulletproof vehicles, 21 in each of these cities.
The third place is occupied by Shkodra, followed by Fieri, Vlora and Lezha. All of them are cities where there have been recent assassinations and other criminal events.
Out of about 700 armored vehicles in total in Albania, those of the "Fiat" brand lead the way, 240 of them. Then come "Audi", "Benz" and "Land Rover".
