In the Moscow region, an incident unfolded when attackers stormed a girl’s home and coerced her into withdrawing money from her bank card. The report came from REN TV and has been circulating as a troubling example of bank card fraud carried out under duress.
Details indicate the event happened in Dmitrov, a city where an unknown group burst into a local resident’s apartment. The intruders pressed for money and, according to witnesses, the two girls present stated they did not carry cash on them and that their savings were kept in online accounts and cards rather than in physical currency at home.
According to the account, the assailants then forced the Russian women into a vehicle and drove them to an ATM. There, they compelled one of the women to withdraw 40,000 rubles from her card before the culprits fled the scene with the stolen funds. The chilling sequence underscores the vulnerability of card-based assets and the length criminals will go to access funds without leaving a visible trail.
The victims contacted local police to report the crime. Law enforcement agencies acted quickly, and the suspects were identified and detained in a speedy response. By the time officers moved in, the offenders had already spent part of the stolen money. A criminal case was opened, and the men were placed in pre-trial detention as the investigation continued. This incident has prompted discussions about security measures at home, in transit, and at ATMs, prompting residents to review how they manage card access and monitor unusual activity on their accounts.

In a separate but related note, the region recently reported a case involving a military officer in Omsk who was found to have stolen helmets valued at seven million rubles and was sentenced to prison time. This juxtaposition of crimes conveys a broader concern about security, accountability, and the protection of assets across different sectors in the country. [Attribution: Local press]
