A 24-year-old police officer in Altai allegedly took a patrol vehicle, a Lada Niva, without permission to visit his girlfriend, risking his career in the process. The incident is now drawing scrutiny from internal affairs and security services involved in the case.
According to statements gathered, the theft occurred in the village of Koshikha in the Altai Territory. The deputy district police officer, Evgeniy, reportedly arrived at the residence and, without authorization, took the keys to the patrol SUV to drive to Nalobikha, a neighboring village roughly 20 kilometers away, where his girlfriend resided.
The plan, as described, was to return the vehicle after the date. However, when colleagues realized the Niva was missing, a search ensued. On the return leg, the officer encountered other patrol units during the pursuit, and the episode is being reviewed by the police department and an internal security service. The officer now faces potential dismissal from the internal affairs bodies as the investigation proceeds.
In a separate incident near Kaliningrad, a man reportedly mistook someone else’s Audi for a vehicle linked to criminals, illustrating a broader pattern of misattributing ownership in vehicle-related cases.
Throughout these events, authorities emphasize the importance of adhering to proper procedures for vehicle use and the severe consequences that accompany unauthorized actions. The ongoing review seeks to determine the facts, verify the sequence of events, and assess any breaches of protocol or laws governing the use of police transportation.
