A man was detained in Krasnogorsk, near Moscow, after committing two thefts in the same apartment within two months and finally surrendering to the police to confess. This account is reported by Life in connection with Shot.
In the first incident, a 52-year-old man was seen collecting bottles in the courtyard of a Krasnogorsk building. He noticed that the second-floor apartment had its light off. He used a file to lift the latch on the balcony door and slipped inside. His haul included jewelry and 50 rubles in cash. While fleeing, he discovered an apple pie cooling in the refrigerator and, driven by a momentary impulse, he tasted a bite before escaping with the stolen items.
Two months later, the same individual returned to the same residence to repeat the burglary. This time his loot swelled to 150,000 rubles in cash, altering the scale of the crime. He entered the home once more, taking advantage of the same unlocked access point and the absence of immediate security that had marked the earlier break-in.
Subsequently, the thief approached the police in person and admitted his actions. He explained that the stolen goods were hidden in several locations around the city and that the jewels had been sold to a pawnshop to raise funds. This sequence of events was reported with attribution to Life via Shot, noting the progression from burglary to confession and concealment of proceeds.
Earlier reports indicate that the same individual had previously stolen dozens of iPhones to finance the purchase of a car, illustrating a pattern of repeated property crimes and escalating risk. This context helps frame the incident within a broader pattern of opportunistic thefts and the consequences of a criminal lifestyle that often culminates in cross-city concealment of loot and subsequent surrender to authorities, bringing the episode to a close with a formal confession.
