During operational activities, the police identified the suspect — a 17-year-old A. A. from Bishkek, who voluntarily handed over his bank card to the investigation. Analysis showed that the teenager had previously opened a Visa plastic card and a SIM card, which he sold to unknown individuals via Telegram for 4,500 soms.
