In the Volgograd region, teenagers stole and smashed VAZ-2101

According to the State Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Volgograd region, law enforcement officers promptly conducted search activities and identified the three suspects - they were minor local residents. During the proceedings, the teenagers admitted that they were looking for inexpensive transport for joint trips. One of them recalled seeing an elderly woman driving the car before and offered to find out if she was going to sell it.

The attackers approached the victim’s house, freely walked into the yard and ended up in an unlocked garage. Seeing the keys in the ignition lock, they could not resist the temptation to ride. The teenagers rolled the car out of the garage, but, not having enough driving experience, could not cope with the control and crashed into a roadside pole. They then returned the damaged car to the garage and hurried to escape.

Now a criminal case has been opened against the detainees under Part 2 of Article 166 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (illegal possession of a car without the purpose of theft). The sanction of the article provides for a punishment of up to 7 years imprisonment.
