Beaten, threatened with a knife and demanded 28 thousand dollars: the police detained the intruders
The capital's law enforcement officers have exposed and detained four people who illegally deprived a man of his liberty and took money from him in cryptocurrency.
The men arrived at a friend's home and began threatening physical abuse. After that, they beat him and demanded that he transfer almost 28 thousand dollars in cryptocurrency to his own account.
Subsequently, the attackers bound the victim's arms and legs with tape, sealed his mouth and began threatening with a knife. Frightened, the victim transferred the specified amount to their account. Also, the defendants took documents, 1400 dollars and bank cards from the victim.
Law enforcement officers conducted searches at the addresses of residence of intruders in the city of Cherkasy and in their vehicles. Mobile phones, crypto wallets, bank cards and about 300 rounds of ammunition were seized. Material evidence is directed to expert research.
The 21-year-old, 23-year-old and 25-year-old offenders were reported on suspicion of committing crimes provided for in the articles of the Criminal Code:
Part 4 of Art. 187- Robbery aimed at the seizure of property of a particularly large size, combined with violence dangerous to the life or health of a person, committed under a previous conspiracy by a group of persons in conditions of martial law; part 2 of Article 146 -- unlawful imprisonment committed by a previous conspiracy group persons, for selfish motives.
The district of the suspects was presented with a petition for the selection of preventive measures in the form of detention. Regarding the fourth defendant, the issue of notifying him of suspicions is being resolved. Intruders face from eight to fifteen years with confiscation of property.
