Under the procedural supervision of the Galician District Prosecutor’s Office of Lviv, a 27-year-old native of Kherson was served a notice of suspicion of illegal seizure of a vehicle (Part 2 Art. 289 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
Currently, at the request of the prosecution, the man is in custody.
According to the investigation, a man stole a Volkswagen Touareg in Bryukhovychi. Previously, the owner of the car had left it to have the interior dry-cleaned. However, one of the workers who was supposed to service the car stole the vehicle.
