Police in the Austrian state of Carinthia have arrested two Bulgarian nationals on suspicion of fraud involving camper van rentals.

European arrest warrants have been issued.
In a separate incident, Polish police detained a 17-year-old suspect who stole a motorhome in Munich on the night of February 19 and ignored border controls. The vehicle was stopped in the town of Lubawka using a spike strip. The motorhome's value is estimated in the mid-five-figure range.
Munich police are investigating a series of motorhome thefts possibly linked to organized crime. Both cases may be connected, though no official confirmation has been given.
