In Moscow, a passerby prevented a thief from making off with a bag holding 46 million rubles after it was stolen from a car parked on a city street. The incident was reported through the capital’s prosecutor’s office on its Telegram channel. The wallet-sized fortune was meant to be deposited at a bank, according to officials, who are closely monitoring the case. The driver had placed the bag in the vehicle and stopped for a lunch break nearby, a lapse that the attacker exploited by breaking a window of the foreign car on Malaya Pirogovskaya Street and grabbing the bag. A vigilant passerby confronted the suspect, who was then detained. The prosecutor’s office indicated it would supervise the case to ensure the 32-year-old thief faces justice.
