Moscow police detained a man on suspicion of fraudulently obtaining money and jewelry

Employees of the criminal investigation department of the south-east of Moscow with operatives of the Moscow headquarters detained a suspect in fraud under the pretext of manufacturing jewelry.

It has been previously established that a resident of the capital, through her friends, contacted a jewelry maker to make her a duplicate of a previously lost gold earring with baguette diamonds. They met in a shopping center on Sharikopodshipnikovaya Street, where the woman gave him the original earrings worth 400 thousand rubles, as well as more than 270 thousand rubles for making the order. After some time, the man stopped communicating, after which the citizen contacted the police.

As a result of operational search activities, criminal investigation officers detained a suspect, a 42-year-old man, in Kashirsky Proezd. The attacker disposed of the stolen goods at his own discretion.
