In August, three men met a 27-year-old man in the city center. They gained his trust and offered to give him a ride home.
Instead, the perpetrators took the man to Hydropark, where they assaulted him and robbed him in a wooded area. The man's phone, watch, money, and documents were stolen. The total value of the stolen items amounted to over 43,000 Ukrainian hryvnias.
After the attack, the perpetrators fled. However, law enforcement officers were able to apprehend one of them in Kyiv, and two others in Vinnytsia, while they were en route to the border in order to leave Ukraine.
The attackers were identified as 24, 25, and 32-year-old men. Two of them were citizens of Azerbaijan, and the third was from Georgia. The criminal charges against them are currently being reviewed in court. They are accused of robbery committed by a group of people using violence during wartime. They face a possible sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
