It is noted that five criminals were arrested “red handed”.
In the Zhytomyr region, law enforcement officers detained two local residents who were involved in the trade in “trophy” weapons illegally exported from the Donetsk region.
Among those detained is a 41-year-old recidivist who previously, in 2022, received a suspended sentence for a similar crime, but continued his illegal activities.
Dilyk kept the “goods” in the garage. There, the law enforcement officers found:

It is noted that he kept them in his parents’ house and was looking for buyers. In his arsenal were:
