A series of thefts in shopping centers in Nizhny Novgorod has been solved by detectives from the city police department's criminal investigation unit. Over the course of a month the perpetrator stole a mobile phone and jewelry with a total value of more than 290,000 rubles, the regional Main Directorate reported.
The first report was filed with Police Department No. 2 by a sales consultant at a mobile phone shop located in a shopping center on Moskovskoye Highway. According to the woman, a man took advantage of a moment when she was distracted by another customer and secretly stole a mobile phone worth 22,990 rubles from an unlocked display case.
As a result of operational-search measures, police detained a 36-year-old resident of the Kanavinsky district with a prior conviction. He admitted his guilt and, during further questioning by detectives, spoke about other thefts.
It was established that the man also stole a gold chain worth 88,000 rubles from a jewelry store in the Kanavinsky district by taking advantage of a slightly open display case and using a wire. In the same way he stole a 9-gram gold bracelet worth 182,290 rubles in the Sormovsky district.
Criminal cases have been opened on all counts under Part 1 of Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (theft). The police are currently establishing the whereabouts of the stolen property and are checking the suspect's involvement in other similar crimes. The investigation is ongoing.
Earlier it was reported that a gang of apartment burglars had been caught in Nizhny Novgorod.
