Moscow, April 11, Interfax - In Nizhny Novgorod Region, church
robbers twice in a month failed to escape police as their car got
suddenly broken.
Two criminals were arrested recently when their car with stolen icons
stopped as they passed by a group of policemen, the Tvoy Den daily
said on Wednesday.
The thieves robbed a church in the village of Dorofeyevo of two old
icons. All neighboring police was engaged in searching them.
When the officers of the Gorodetskoye District Internal Affairs
Department saw a car that stopped on a bridge, they came to it and
asked the driver to open the boot. The thieves said that their car
had just been repaired and suddenly stopped a on the bridge right
before the policemen came.
A similar situation took place in Vorotynsky District of Nizhny
Novgorod Region almost one month ago.
A gang of Russian and Armenian robbers made an effort to break into a
church window in the village of Raznezhye. They used special scissors
to cut the bars, but the supposedly strong tool broke as they were
cutting the second bar.
The next night the thieves came again. That time they cut the bars
but yet failed to get inside as the alarm started screaming and they
had to escape. A police group came to the church and remained there
until morning, but just a few hours after they left, the robbers came
back again and finally stole what they wanted.
But no scarcely had they left the village, their car stopped. Local
people saw an unfamiliar vehicle and called the police. After all,
the car started by the police was already coming to get the thieves
right after they left the village. Bad luck indeed.
