A 17-year-old resident of Lipetsk received 160 hours of mandatory work for a series of thefts and robberies in chain stores. The total damage to retail chains exceeded 134 thousand rubles. This sentence was issued by the October district court of the city.
According to the joint press service of the judicial system of the Lipetsk region, from September to November 2026, the teenager repeatedly took goods out of stores without paying for them. He put his shopping in his bag and walked past the cash register.
During one of the episodes, he was noticed by the administrator and the salesman-cashier. Staff tried to stop the young man, but he ignored their demands and fled with the abducted man. This case was qualified by the court as robbery.
The teenager has previously been prosecuted for a similar crime. This time he pleaded guilty to all 14 episodes and repented. The court took into account his minor age, assistance in solving and investigating crimes, as well as his state of health.
On the set of crimes, taking into account the unserved part of the sentence under the previous sentence, the court appointed the teenager 160 hours of compulsory work.
