Osvaldas Ubarevicius, a Lithuanian national, has been jailed for 30 months and will be deported after transporting hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of stolen car parts.

Osvaldas Ubarevicius, 31, a Lithuanian national formerly of Browns Green in Birmingham, has been jailed for 30 months following conviction at Winchester Crown Court on October 22. He will be deported after serving his sentence. Ubarevicius was found guilty of conspiring to dishonestly receive stolen goods and possessing criminal property.

He was responsible for transporting hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of stolen high-value car parts to a lock-up near Malmesbury for export overseas as part of an organised crime network. Police discovered the operation on April 22 when a private tracking company reported a chop shop full of high-value vehicles that had been dismantled into parts on farmland near Malmesbury. Officers attended the site and initial enquiries indicated it was part of an organised crime network revolving around the export of stolen car parts.

CCTV enquiries linked a white Sprinter van to the site. Two days after the discovery, Hertfordshire Police stopped the van and found parts of a vehicle that had been stolen that morning in its rear. The van itself was also stolen. Ubarevicius, the driver, was arrested at that time.
