Law enforcement officers are currently withholding more specific information regarding this case, citing the secrecy of the investigation. However, from reliable sources we have learned that other versions related to the entry into this commercial establishment are also being considered. In particular, unidentified persons may have remained in the department store premises after the end of the working day. The thieves were allegedly first discovered by security guards who heard noise on the floors and initially tried to detain the thieves themselves. However, the private security acted unprofessionally, so the thieves, having broken a window on the stairwell landing between the first and second floors (above the flower pavilion), fled.

According to preliminary estimates, the criminals took with them 15 thousand hryvnias in cash, as well as some items from various departments of the TSUM, in particular, they grabbed leather goods, clothing...
