A thief, who committed theft in one of the mosques in Tashkent, was detained.
Reportedly, on 16 September, a 21-year-old man committed a theft at the “Chupon-ota” mosque, when an 18-year-old man went to pray. He stole the prayer’s briefcase with personal belongings and 894 thousand soums. Then the thief fled the scene of the crime.
He was soon detained. A criminal case has been instituted against the detainee under Article 169 (theft) of the Criminal Code of Uzbekistan.
