Tomsk investigator helped return stolen cargo of stew for 10 million rubles

In Tomsk, the investigator of the investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Soviet district returned the shipped cargo to the owner - more than 31,000 retort packages with stew. A complaint of fraud was filed by a local individual entrepreneur engaged in the manufacture of meat products.

The businessman told police that he had received an email from a Moscow firm. Having contacted the head of the sales department, he discussed the details of the transaction, the timing of the manufacture of goods, logistics and concluded a supply contract. The buyers explained that the cargo was intended for the needs of a special military operation and assured that payment would be made upon receipt. The cost of the goods the entrepreneur estimated at 10 million rubles.

The inconsistencies began immediately: on the day of shipment, the truck driver dropped that he was going to Barnaul, although Moscow was listed in the invoice. Tomich was alarmed, and when the money never came to the account, he began to look for reviews about the buyer's firm. Later, he saw his product, already put up for sale, on the platform of free ads. The man immediately went to the police.

During the operational-search activities, the police established a warehouse in Barnaul, where the cargo was originally sent. After contacting a warehouse representative, the invoice investigator traced the stolen stew. The car and the driver had changed by then. Gathering information by bits, the police found out that the cargo went to Balashikha, Moscow region, and then to Lobnya. For three weeks, the attackers covered their tracks, changing logistics centers, cars and drivers.

Having established the data of the last driver, the investigator contacted him and found out that the cargo was going to Krasnodar. Police officers arrived at the specified warehouse, seized the goods and handed it over to the rightful owner.
