According to information provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kyrgyzstan, the activities of an organized criminal group consisting of 15 individuals have been completely halted.
As a result of extensive operational measures, the Ministry of Internal Affairs staff were able to identify and detain members of this group, who had previously been repeatedly prosecuted and were registered as active members of organized crime groups.
The detainees are suspected of committing a number of large-scale thefts and robberies across the country.
In particular, they are involved in thefts from administrative buildings, retail outlets, and offices.
To conceal their actions, group members used various disguise methods, including realistic silicone masks of women's faces and wigs, which allowed them to mislead witnesses.
The total amount of material damage caused by the group is estimated at 25 million soms.
During the special operation, the following suspects were detained:
K. S. D., born in 1988, with 14 convictions for robbery, theft, and burglary; J. D. T., born in 1994, previously convicted five times for robbery and theft; Ch. Z. S., born in 1988, also convicted five times for robbery and theft; T. uulu T., born in 1991, convicted three times for murder, theft, and robbery; T. uulu U., born in 1991, convicted for theft; O. M. D., born in 1988, with six convictions for robbery, theft, causing serious harm to health, and extortion; M. B. A., born in 1980, with five convictions for murder, robbery, theft, and illegal possession of weapons; M. uulu E., born in 1991, convicted three times for theft; E. A. R., born in 1988, previously convicted for theft.
During searches, the following were found and seized: professional equipment for opening safes and doors, as well as for picking locks of various complexities; radios; GPS trackers; devices for suppressing security system signals.
Additionally, seized were: an AKSU automatic rifle with a full magazine (30 rounds), a Makarov pistol, 20 live 9 mm rounds, a traumatic Makarov pistol, an F-1 grenade, cold weapons (knives), and a narcotic substance—hashish weighing approximately 44.73 grams.
All detainees are charged under part 2 of article 261 of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic (creating or participating in an organized group). The suspects have been placed in the pre-trial detention center No. 1 in Bishkek.
Furthermore, a connection has been established between this group and convicts serving sentences in the institutions of the State Penitentiary Service of the Kyrgyz Republic, who had previously been convicted of serious and particularly serious crimes.
The detainees maintained contact with convicts: K. N. D., born in 1986, with 8 convictions; E. Zh. O., born in 1979, with 9 convictions; B. A. T., born in 1986, with 13 convictions; T. S. A., born in 1990, with 3 convictions; Zh. S. A., born in 1991, with 4 convictions; Sh. T. S., born in 1986, with 8 convictions.
Preliminary data indicate that the scheme of actions involved individuals at large committing crimes, while the convicts took the blame, choosing suitable time intervals.
At this moment, the activities of the criminal group have completely ceased.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs continues to conduct operational and investigative activities.
