The lawbreaker was arrested by SSS officers when he was heading his way to the Uzbek-Kyrgyz state border. Also, citizen R.R., who was waiting for the arrival of his criminal accomplice in the village of Mindon, Fergana district, was detained.
In another case in the city of Fergana, a resident of Fergana district, M.Sh.
