"Let Me Make a Call." In Bishkek, Lonely Passersby Were Robbed
The incident occurred on January 12, when a local resident contacted the police. He reported that around two o'clock in the morning on Gorky Street, he was attacked by strangers who stole his iPhone 13 ProMax.
This case was registered as robbery under Article 206 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Law enforcement officers detained three suspects: S.E. (born in 2006), S.B. (born in 2008), and Ch.A. (born in 2010). All of them were placed in a temporary detention facility. The Pervomaisky District Court later decided to remand them in custody for two months in SIZO-1.
According to the investigation, the suspects used a car with fake license plates for their crimes. They would track lonely passersby, approach them under the pretext of asking to make a phone call, and then used force to seize mobile phones before quickly fleeing the scene. Four mobile phones, which they obtained through criminal means, were found in the possession of the detainees.
Law enforcement agencies believe that the detainees may be involved in other similar crimes. In this regard, the police urge anyone who has been a victim of their actions or has any information to contact the following numbers: 0 (998) 81-04-06 or 102.
