In Crimea, a Toyota Camry driver was detained after an alarming incident that unfolded when he spotted law enforcement and hurled a package containing RGD-5 bombs from his vehicle to the roadside. This development was reported through a Telegram channel run by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Crimea and subsequently confirmed by official sources.
The situation began at a gas station near the village of Razdolnoye in the Sovetsky District, where the suspicious vehicle was pulled over for inspection. Authorities observed that the driver discarded a container holding unknown objects through a passenger-side window, raising immediate concerns about what might be inside. Police secured the scene and began a careful examination to determine the potential threat and ensure public safety.
Crime scene investigation teams conducted a thorough search of the car and the surrounding area. Their work led to the identification and seizure of explosive components. Based on expert assessments, the recovered items were determined to be RGD-5 bombs along with their fuses, indicating a deliberated and dangerous intent.
The driver later admitted to carrying grenades in the vehicle, which precipitated the filing of a criminal case under laws prohibiting the illicit possession, transport, or smuggling of explosives or explosive substances. The case reflects the seriousness with which authorities treat the transport and potential deployment of such dangerous devices and underscores the ongoing vigilance at checkpoints and public spaces that could be at risk.
Separately, information from Moscow reported a separate incident in which a man allegedly stole a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV valued at 250 million rubles from a friend. This event, while not linked to the Crimea case, highlights the broader pattern of high-value vehicle crimes occurring across different regions.
