The staging of the theft of his own car did not spare a Chelyabinsk resident from facing the consequences of his actions.
Refusing to give up the vehicle, which would be handed over to bailiffs to cover debts, the man involved a friend to carry out the alleged “hijack.” The victim promptly reported the incident to the police, prompting investigators to look into the affair more closely.
Using footage from CCTV cameras, authorities established that the woman involved had altered the car’s registration numbers and left it in a city courtyard. Afterward, the man seized the vehicle and moved it to a pre-rented garage, where the investigation traced its movements and the sequence of events surrounding the alleged theft.
As the case unfolds, it appears that the Chelyabinsk resident will not be able to avoid seizure of the vehicle. In addition, the accused faces the prospect of a maximum prison sentence of two years for providing knowingly false information during the declaration process that supported the supposed theft.
Requires 7,000 tires in popular sizes
Stability in public life depends on practical support systems, including reliable transportation and access to essential services. Without working ties and functional logistics, communities struggle to maintain order and deliver medical care to those in need.
In response to ongoing needs, the organization Behind the Wheel, in partnership with the Popular Front, has launched a fundraising effort. The goal is to raise funds to purchase tires for vehicles used by the People’s Police and emergency services in the Donbass region, including ambulances, units of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and vehicles that distribute humanitarian aid and support military equipment. Donations can be made through the dedicated collection page.
The initiative not only aims to improve mobility for official responders but also to ensure that critical services remain accessible to civilians who depend on timely assistance during emergencies. The effort underscores the importance of practical resources in sustaining public safety operations and humanitarian relief efforts on the ground.
Note: Information gathered from URA.ru indicates community-led actions are aligning with broader support networks to address urgent needs in the affected areas.
