Organized criminal group detained in Gudermes, Chechnya

An organized criminal group that committed armed attacks against local citizens has been detained in the Chechen second largest city of Gudermes. The group had four members, as RIA Novosti learned in the local law-enforcement structures. The offenders were detained with the assistance of the Chechen police.

By now it has been established that the group committed an armed attack on an apartment of a local citizen on August 8th. They smashed in the door and, threatening the woman with a gun, robbed her of a large sum of money and valuable things.

The investigation is finding out other cases of the group's criminal activities.
