A man was arrested after following girls in Rostov-on-Don, according to the control RF IC. The incident prompted officials to issue a public safety alert and review local security measures for minors in the area.
Law enforcement alerted the public after releasing video footage showing the 40-year-old suspect engaging in behavior that suggested he was stalking children. During the encounter, one of the girls quickly withdrew into her apartment, and the man reportedly refused to engage with her after a passerby frightened him. The image may have helped deter further contact and provided authorities with a clearer lead about the suspect’s movements that day.
Thanks to the released images, police were able to identify the man and locate him at his residence, where he was subsequently detained. Local investigators are coordinating with regional security services to ensure a thorough review of the case and to determine whether there were additional risks or victims connected to the suspect.
The Investigation Committee stated that the man had previously faced charges for a similar crime, indicating a pattern that warranted careful examination and ongoing monitoring by authorities. This information prompted prosecutors to push for strict oversight and to consider the appropriate measures to prevent any potential reoffending.
At this time, department personnel are implementing necessary precautionary steps to protect the community while the case proceeds. The man is in custody and will remain detained pending further judicial actions through the specified court timeline.
A separate report indicates that a man who has a history of corrupting children in Udmurtia was subjected to compulsory treatment as part of mandated interventions. This detail underscores the broader concern about safeguarding vulnerable youths and ensuring that individuals with past offenses receive appropriate supervision and support to minimize harm.
