In Cheboksary, arsonists who tried to intimidate debtors were detained.

In Cheboksary, police officers detained several young people suspected of a series of arson attacks on doors in houses. In a similar way, the attackers tried to intimidate people who did not pay for the dose from the stash caches.

Officers of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in the city of Cheboksary detained five suspects in a series of arson attacks on doors in apartment buildings.

It was previously established that the attackers received tasks from an anonymous customer via messenger. For each illegal act they received from 5 to 15 thousand rubles. Investigators found that in this way the organizers of the crimes sought to intimidate and punish participants in the scheme for the illegal distribution of prohibited substances. These people took drugs from stash houses, but did not pay for them. Therefore, the door arsonists also left threatening inscriptions on the walls.

Criminal cases have been initiated on the grounds of a crime provided for in Part 2 of Article 167 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. One of the defendants was given a preventive measure in the form of detention, the rest - in the form of a written undertaking not to leave the place and proper behavior.

Operational search activities are ongoing aimed at identifying everyone involved in similar crimes,” said official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs Irina Volk.
