In the Lipetsk region, three men were sent to the colony after an armed chase

Three men received real sentences for attacking a friend with the use of firearms. The persecution occurred in August 2023: the attackers caught up with the victim’s car, blocked his path and opened fire. In addition, the convicts took away the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 SUV, which they arrived in.

According to the Prosecutor’s office of the Lipetsk region, the cause of the attack was personal differences. A resident of the Dobrinsky district decided to deal with a friend and enlisted the support of two friends - from Voronezh and Lipetsk.

Before the trip, the men armed themselves. A resident of the Dobrinsky district had a Tokarev gun, which he purchased illegally. His companions brought with them traumatic pistols.

Trinity followed the car of a friend. When the men managed to stop the car, one of them shot the wheel. The attackers then continued firing towards the vehicle and into the air. The victim tried to defend himself with a hunting rifle. One of the participants in the chase was detained right on the spot.

The court appointed a resident of Dobrinsky district 3 years and 3 months of imprisonment. He was found guilty of hooliganism committed by a group of preliminary conspiracy with the use of violence and weapons, as well as illegal acquisition, possession, transportation and carrying of weapons. Two of his accomplices received a year and a half in prison for hooliganism.

Separately, the court ordered the seizure of the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 and transfer the car to the state.
