CrimeaPRESS reports:

An employee of one of the local battery and charger stores contacted the Simferopol police for help.

The man stated that during the audit the theft of funds was established. At the beginning of September of this year, an unidentified person, having access to funds, committed the theft of about 150 thousand rubles. The applicant also added that he suspects a 26-year-old trainee of committing this crime.

As a result of operational search activities, employees of the criminal investigation department of OP No. 3 “Central” of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in Simferopol detained the suspect. He turned out to be a 26-year-old resident of the Belogorsk district, who worked in this store as an intern in September of this year— reported the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Crimea.

The detainee did not deny his guilt and admitted that for a month he had been selling the company’s goods, and asked to transfer funds to his bank card, hiding behind a faulty cash terminal. In total, he managed to embezzle about 150 thousand rubles, which he spent on his own needs.

Based on the elements of the crime provided for under Part 2 of Article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Misappropriation or embezzlement committed with causing significant damage to a citizen”), a criminal case was initiated. The detainee faces up to 5 years in prison.
