Oktyabrsk resident attacks pensioner with scalpel
A resident of the city of Oktyabrsk attacked a pensioner with a scalpel. The incident occurred in Tolyatti in the apartment of a 75-year-old woman, when her former neighbors came to visit. The client stole money, a bank card and a cell phone from the grandmother, and then disappeared. The damage amounted to about 70,000 rubles.
The robber received burns while paying in a store with a stolen card. Thanks to video surveillance, the police identified the 40-year-old repeat offender from Oktyavrysk, previously convicted of a crime against property. The woman was detained and taken to the police station.
“The attacker confessed to committing the illegal act, explaining that he needed the money for personal needs,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs said.
A criminal case was opened against her on charges of robbery.
