In Krasnoyarsk, a criminal case has been opened against a 47-year-old local man over an episode of violence linked to an unpaid debt. The incident, described on the district attorney’s Telegram channel, centers on a dispute that escalated when the creditor struck the borrower’s vehicle with a sledgehammer in the vicinity of a trash bin.
The background shows that the accused had lent money to a friend in order to repair a Toyota Harrier crossover. The loan was meant to be repaid in the near future, with some agreement reached in the autumn of 2022. By the summer of 2023, the borrower had returned 4.5 thousand rubles and promised to withdraw the remaining funds from an ATM, after which his phone could no longer be reached. In response, the creditor took the drastic step of using a sledgehammer near the rubbish area, ready to confront the debtor.
According to statements, armed with the improvised hammer, the creditor approached the vehicle for which the money was borrowed to fund repairs. He delivered several blows that shattered windows and headlights and damaged the doors and bonnet. It was reported that the debtor was inside the car during the confrontation, adding tension to the scene.
The total value of the damage was recorded at 480 thousand rubles. The case was initiated under the article governing damage to another person’s property. It was investigated and subsequently forwarded to the Krasnoyarsk Soviet Court for consideration.
In a separate location within Krasnoyarsk, there were reports of another individual causing damage to multiple vehicles. This separate incident involved damage to eleven parked cars, highlighting a pattern of violent actions linked to driving-related property incidents in the area.
