During the day in the capital, a criminal openly snatched a gold chain with a cross from a woman. This piece of jewelry was a cherished family heirloom for her. Thanks to the prompt actions of the police, the suspect was identified and apprehended, and the stolen item was recovered.

The woman reported to the police that an unknown man had aggressively taken the gold chain from her neck in a park near a bus stop and then fled the scene. The operational group of the Solomianskyi Police Department was immediately dispatched to the location.

Authorities discovered that the attacker was a 34-year-old resident of the city with a prior criminal record. The victim, an 84-year-old woman, was particularly devastated as the stolen cross held significant sentimental value, being a memento from her mother. Despite the suspect's efforts to sell the jewelry, the police quickly tracked down the buyer and seized the item as evidence.

The suspect was detained under Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.

Investigators charged him under Part 4 of Article 186 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – robbery with violence committed during a state of martial law. The court has chosen to impose a preventive measure of detention without the possibility of bail. The article's sanctions allow for a sentence of up to ten years in prison.
