The hijackers face up to eight years in prison.
An 18-year-old citizen of a neighboring country and a 20-year-old previously convicted resident of Lyubashevka stole a car that was parked in the Kievsky district of the city. They drove out of town, where they were detained by the police. This was reported in the press service of the GUNP.
The suspects explained that they had to get to Lyubashevka in the middle of the night, so they decided to use someone else’s car.
The car was returned to its owner. The hijackers were informed of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 289 (illegal seizure of a vehicle) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. They face up to eight years in prison. The court chose a measure of restraint in the form of detention.
