According to police reports, the suspect noticed the jewelry left unattended at the workplace and, taking advantage of the absence of others, put it in his pocket. Upon discovering the loss, the victim contacted law enforcement agencies. As a result of search operations, the stolen item was recovered and returned to its owner.
A criminal case has been initiated regarding this incident under Part 1 of Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Theft"). Currently, a preventive measure in the form of a written undertaking not to leave the place of residence and to maintain good behavior has been applied to the suspect.
We remind you that under Russian law, the secret theft of another person's property entails criminal liability. Such offenses can have serious consequences for the legal status of migrants in the Russian Federation and their future employment.
