Local authorities have not publicly disclosed specific names pending ongoing investigations, but police reports suggest the involvement of a well-coordinated team experienced in industrial thefts.
Investigators are checking how thousands of wheels could be smuggled out of the plant over a longer period without being noticed in the internal controlling.
