Two young men in motorcycle helmets burst into an exchange office and, threatening the female employee with a pistol, stole 1,500 US dollars, 500 euros, 600 Russian rubles and 19 thousand 252 hryvnias. Having hidden the loot in a bag, the perpetrators ran out into the street and disappeared in an unknown direction on a red motorcycle, the Western Information Corporation was told by the Central Public Relations Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the Volyn region. \n \nSix days later, police officers detained the suspects in committing this crime. As it turned out, the exchange office was robbed by two local residents – 18-year-old Vitaliy R. and 22-year-old Andriy M. The latter had already been previously convicted. Law enforcement officers say that by the age of fourteen he already had 50 episodes of theft on his record. \n \nDuring the search, law enforcement officers seized money from the suspects, though not all of it – they had already managed to spend a considerable part on their own needs. Thus, of the stolen goods, only 6 thousand 555 hryvnias, 395 US dollars, and 330 euros remained. In addition, police officers seized from the robbers an 8-caliber gas pistol and a "Minsk" motorcycle on which the crime had been committed. By the way, in order to cover their tracks, the young men had managed to repaint it black. \n \nCurrently, the suspects are in custody, and a criminal case has been opened. And the management of "PrivatBank" promised the Novovolynsk law enforcement officers a substantial financial reward for the prompt solving of this crime.
