CrimeaPRESS reports:
In December last year in Simferopol, the police received several statements from sales consultants of retail outlets regarding fraudulent activities. Both victims reported that during the recalculation of funds in the stores’ cash registers, a shortage was discovered.
When viewing recordings from CCTV cameras, it was established that an unknown woman, paying for goods of insignificant value, at the time of transferring funds, twisted a large denomination bill, distracted the sellers and cashiers, and ultimately did not hand over her bill. At the same time, the “customer” left the store premises with her money, goods and change from the “purchase”. Using this fraud scheme, the attacker managed to steal money from a liquor store, as well as from a jewelry retail outlet.— reported the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Crimea.
Employees of the criminal investigation department of OP No. 3 “Central” of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Simferopol identified a 37-year-old resident of the Krasnodar Territory who had previously been convicted for similar facts. The attacker was detained by operatives at her place of residence in the city of Armavir and taken to the Republic of Crimea.
The inquiry department of OP No. 3 “Central” of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Simferopol opened a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Part 1 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Fraud). The sanction of the article provides for a maximum penalty of imprisonment for up to two years.
