In Kyrgyzstan, an organized crime group consisting of 15 individuals has been detained for disguising themselves as women to commit robberies in stores and offices. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The detainees are suspected of organizing a series of armed robberies and thefts in the country. The group members used silicone masks with women's faces and wigs to avoid recognition by witnesses.
The total amount of damage caused by their actions amounted to 25 million soms.
During a special operation, the following individuals were detained: K. S. D. (born in 1988) — previously convicted 14 times for robberies and thefts; J. D. T. (born in 1994) — previously convicted five times for robbery; Ch. Z. S. (born in 1988) — previously convicted five times; T. uulu T.

(born in 1988) — previously convicted for theft.
During searches, equipment for opening safes, radios, GPS trackers, and devices for jamming security system signals were found with the detainees.
In addition, firearms were seized: an AKSU assault rifle with magazines for 30 rounds, a Makarov pistol with 20 rounds of 9 mm ammunition, a traumatic pistol, an F-1 grenade, as well as a narcotic substance — hashish weighing about 44.73 grams.
All detainees are charged under part 2 of Article 261 (Creation of an organized group or participation in it) of the Criminal Code of Kyrgyzstan and placed in pre-trial detention center No. 1.
It has also been established that the group had connections with prisoners previously convicted of serious crimes. The detainees maintained contacts with K. N. D. (born in 1986), E. Zh. O. (born in 1979), B. A. T. (born in 1986), T. S. A. (born in 1990), and others.
According to preliminary data, their interaction scheme involved free members of the group committing crimes while the convicted individuals took the blame at convenient moments.
At the moment, the activities of the criminal group have been completely stopped. The Ministry of Internal Affairs continues to conduct operational activities.
