Law enforcement officers in Kyiv have apprehended a group of repeat offenders who targeted tobacco kiosks
Two men who specialized in nighttime robberies of cigarette kiosks were apprehended in the capital.
Under the procedural guidance of the Desnianskyi District Prosecutor’s Office of Kyiv, the suspects were officially notified of their status as suspects in a series of thefts.
During their last raid, the offenders caused damages amounting to nearly 300,000 hryvnias.
The investigation established that the accomplices had carefully planned and carried out the attack on the kiosk at night.
They smashed the sturdy display window of the retail kiosk located in the Lisovy Massif area. The suspects quickly stole a large quantity of tobacco products and some food items from the premises.
The men quickly loaded all the stolen property into their own car to flee the scene of the crime. However, law enforcement officers apprehended the suspects shortly after the incident and seized the physical evidence.
In total, police found and confiscated 1,944 packs of cigarettes of various brands in the suspects’ vehicle.
One of the detained men already had a serious criminal record. As prosecutors discovered, he had been convicted multiple times for committing similar property crimes.
Currently, both suspects are charged with violating Part 4 of Article 185 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
