During the Stop plan in Novosibirsk, a man and a woman were detained after a pattern of daily car travel through the city ended in store robberies, according to absportex.ru. The incident began when the rapid response team observed a man carrying a briefcase exit a local store named Maria-Ra. Moments later, a woman appeared with a package in her hands. The pair jumped into a burgundy Nissan and sped away, weaving through streets in a rush toward the Vybornaya thermal power plant area. The guards on duty were urged to alert the police patrol and to attempt to stop the car before it could vanish into traffic. (absportex.ru)
Inside the vehicle, officers found a substantial number of alcohol bottles and food items. Preliminary data indicate that the suspects carried out as many as 20 raids on grocery stores across Novosibirsk. The city’s media outlets have since dubbed the couple a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, a reference to the infamous American outlaws whose exploits were documented during the Great Depression.
