Russian schoolboy stole 16 gas masks

In the Krasnogvardeysky district of St. Petersburg, a 13-year-old schoolboy lost 16 gas masks, which he tried to sell through the ads website. This was reported in the regional headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

According to the agency, the teenager posted an announcement on the Internet about the sale of a batch of personal protective equipment. He was contacted by a buyer. The seller and the buyer agreed to meet near the store on Mentors Avenue.

At the appointed time, a car sharing car drove up to the meeting place. The driver inspected the goods, loaded gas masks into the car and drove away without paying for the purchase. The student reported the incident to the police. The damage was estimated at 28 thousand rubles.

Two suspects were arrested on hot pursuit two hours after the theft. They were an 18-year-old boy and his 15-year-old friend.

The elder was taken to the police department, where a report was made on him. The youngest was sent to the Center for the temporary detention of juvenile offenders. The stolen gas masks were seized.
