The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kyrgyzstan has reported the dismantling of a stable organized criminal group.
During extensive operational-search activities, law enforcement officers detained 15 members of the criminal group, who had previously been repeatedly prosecuted and were listed in operational records as active participants of the organized criminal group (OCG).
The detainees are suspected of involvement in a number of serious crimes, including large-scale thefts and armed robberies across the country.
Among the crimes are thefts from administrative buildings, retail outlets, and offices.
In committing these acts, group members used various methods of disguise, such as realistic silicone masks and wigs, to conceal their faces and mislead potential witnesses.
The total damage from their actions is estimated at 25 million soms.
As a result of the special operation, the following individuals were detained:
K. S. D. (born in 1988) — convicted 14 times for robbery, theft, and burglary; J. D. T. (born in 1994) — convicted 5 times for robbery and theft; Ch. Z. S. (born in 1988) — convicted 5 times for robbery and theft; T. uulu T. (born in 1991) — convicted 3 times for murder, theft, and robbery; T. uulu U. (born in 1991) — convicted for theft; O. M. D. (born in 1988) — convicted 6 times for robbery, theft, causing serious harm to health, and extortion; M. B. A. (born in 1980) — convicted 5 times for murder, robbery, theft, and illegal possession of weapons; M. uulu E. (born in 1991) — convicted 3 times for theft; E. A. R. (born in 1988) — convicted for theft.
During the searches, the following were discovered and seized: professional equipment for opening safes and doors, as well as tools for lock picking; radios; GPS trackers; devices for jamming security system signals.
Also seized were: an AKSU assault rifle with a loaded magazine (30 rounds), a Makarov pistol, 20 live 9 mm rounds for it, a traumatic Makarov pistol, a hand grenade F-1, cold weapons (knives), and drugs — hashish (cannabis resin), with a total weight of 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 the Kyrgyz Republic. They have been placed in the pre-trial detention center No. 1 in Bishkek.
Furthermore, a connection has been established between the detainees and individuals serving sentences in the institutions of the State Penitentiary Service of the Kyrgyz Republic, who had previously been convicted of serious crimes.
The connections with the convicted individuals were maintained by: K. N. D. (born in 1986) — convicted 8 times; E. Zh. O. (born in 1979) — convicted 9 times; B. A. T. (born in 1986) — convicted 13 times; T. S. A. (born in 1990) — convicted 3 times; Zh. S. A. (born in 1991) — convicted 4 times; Sh. T. S. (born in 1986) — convicted 8 times.
According to preliminary data, the scheme of the group's operation involved individuals at large committing crimes, while the convicted individuals took the blame at convenient times.
At present, the activities of this criminal group have been completely halted.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs continues to conduct operational-investigative activities.
Record from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kyrgyzstan: The activities of a stable organized criminal group have been suppressed for the first time on the K-News website.
