According to the press service of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Osh region, on February 25, 2026, a 30-year-old local resident K.J., born in 1996, reported to the district police department. The applicant stated that on the night of February 22 to 23, unknown individuals broke into his store and stole cash amounting to 65 thousand dollars.
A criminal case was initiated on this fact under Article 205 ("Theft") of the Criminal Code. During operational-search activities, officers of the criminal investigation department identified the suspects. The suspects attempted to hide in different cities of the republic but were detained:
- M.N., born in 2009, a minor;
- M.M., born in 2001;
- K.T., born in 2004.
The arrests were carried out simultaneously in the cities of Osh and Bishkek. All three have been placed in custody. The investigation established that the stolen currency was divided into three equal parts by the accomplices. With half of the stolen amount, the young men purchased a car in Bishkek. They managed to spend the remaining part of the money on personal needs.
Currently, the criminal investigation operatives are conducting additional activities to establish the possible involvement of the detainees in other similar crimes in the region. The investigation continues.
The total amount of damage at the current exchange rate is more than 5.5 million soms.
