In Moscow, fraudsters forced a 12-year-old child to clean the safe of parents and give away valuables for 9 million rubles

In Moscow, telephone scammers deceived a 12-year-old boy, forcing him to take out money, expensive watches and jewelry for a total of 9 million rubles. About the incident in the police reported the father of the child, who returned home, found the missing son and family values. Police later found the student on Astradamskaya Street. This was reported in the press service of the Department of Internal Affairs for the Northern Administrative District of Moscow.

It turned out that shortly before the incident, the boy met on the Internet with a girl who began to threaten him and demand the fulfillment of his instructions. Soon, unknown persons who introduced themselves as employees of state bodies joined the conversation. Under their pressure, the child made a kind of search of the apartment, showing the premises by video link, after which he opened the family safe and took the money and jewelry.

Following the instructions of the attackers, the student went to University Avenue, where he handed over the abducted to a stranger. Police identified him and detained him. The mediator was an 18-year-old resident of the Moscow region. When he was searched, he found stolen jewelry, which he plans to return to the owners. At the same time, the suspect managed to transfer the cash to an accomplice, and left the expensive watch in the place indicated by the curators in the Moscow region.

On the fact of the incident, a criminal case was opened on fraud on an especially large scale. The detainee was given a preventive measure in the form of a subscription not to leave and proper behavior. Now law enforcement officers are looking for other participants of the criminal scheme, including its organizers, and check the possible involvement of the suspect in other similar episodes.
