The investigation was initiated by a citizen, A.A., who contacted the Sverdlovsk District Internal Affairs Department on December 28, 2025. In her statement, she described how unknown individuals stole an iPhone 12 Pro Max from the pocket of her minor daughter's jacket at the Alamedin market and fled the scene of the crime.
Based on this statement, a criminal case was opened under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During operational search activities, law enforcement officers managed to detain the first suspect — A.K., born in 1998. During further investigation, it was revealed that he was selling the stolen phones at the "Osh Bazaar" market with the help of another accomplice — A.Z., born in 2001.
Both detainees have been placed in the temporary detention facility of the Bishkek City Police Department in accordance with the provisions of Article 96 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During searches conducted in the "Besh-Sary" shopping center, law enforcement agencies seized more than 20 mobile phones, the origins of which raise suspicions. Currently, a connection has been established between the detainees and a series of pickpocketing incidents that occurred at the markets in the capital.
The investigation is ongoing.
