Man Faces Up to 8 Years in Prison for Ordering Hundreds of Pizzas to Random Addresses

A 23-year-old man from Poland could spend up to eight years in prison after allegedly ordering hundreds of pizzas and sending them to people who knew nothing about the orders.

The suspect, who lives in Szczecin, allegedly used other people’s personal information to place the orders. Reports suggest that some of his targets included politicians and media personalities.

Most of the deliveries went to addresses in Szczecin. Other orders targeted people in Wrocław, Kraków and Warsaw.

The recipients had not requested the food and were expected to pay when it arrived.

Police said some orders contained private details that only the victims or people close to them would normally know. This left several victims feeling frightened and harassed.

The orders also reportedly included threats involving the kidnapping of a child, the burning of a notary’s office and a planned road accident.

In one case, the suspect allegedly ordered 300 pizzas worth more than 37,000 zlotys, about $10,000.

Some restaurants prepared the food and suffered financial losses when recipients rejected it. Others cancelled unusually large orders because they could not prepare them on time.

Cybercrime officers and investigators later searched the suspect’s home. They seized electronic devices and data storage equipment that may have been used to place the orders.

The man has reportedly been placed in custody for two months while investigations continue.

He faces allegations of stalking, identity fraud and causing serious financial losses. If convicted, he could receive a prison sentence of up to eight years.

Investigators have not yet revealed a possible motive behind the alleged scheme.
