The operatives of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs timely contacted the citizen, explained to her the essence of the criminal scheme and organized operational measures. The woman acted in coordination with police and confirmed the meeting with the courier.

As a result, a 22-year-old resident of the Stavropol Territory who arrived for money was detained. The suspect confessed to what he had done. Police found that the defendant involved in similar facts of crimes.

A criminal case has been opened. Investigative and operational measures are being taken to establish all the circumstances and persons involved in the committed crime.
