The press service of the regional Internal Affairs Department reported that on December 29, 2025, a statement was received at the Jeti-Oguz District Internal Affairs Department from a resident of the village of Darkhan, M.Z., born in 1986.
In his appeal, he stated that on September 29, 2025, two men, having gained his trust, assessed 37 sheep belonging to him at 510,000 soms. However, they only paid 265,000 soms, and the remaining 245,000 soms have not been returned and they have disappeared.
Moreover, one of the fraudsters presented a forged document—a copy of the state act of ownership for a land plot in the village of Tamga—as a guarantee. As a result, the resident lost 245,000 soms.
The incident was registered at the Jeti-Oguz District Internal Affairs Department, and a criminal case was initiated under Article 209, Part 3, Clause 2 of the Criminal Code ("Fraud").
During operational activities, the police identified suspects who, through deception and using forged documents, unlawfully acquired property from another nine citizens. The detention took place at their hiding location. As a result, 10 criminal cases have been initiated.
The total amount of damage caused was 3,342,000 soms, of which 1,598,000 has already been reimbursed to the victims during the investigation.
The suspects turned out to be N.G., born in 1989 (village of Tamga), K.A., born in 1986, and M.S., born in 1995 (both residents of the village of Barskoon).
According to the Internal Affairs Department of the Issyk-Kul region, during the preliminary interrogation, all suspects admitted their guilt. By the decision of the Jeti-Oguz District Court, they were placed under arrest for one month.
Currently, investigative actions are ongoing.
