In Yevpatoria, Crimea, two teenage girls, aged 17 and 15, were caught stealing clothing from a local store. The incident, which occurred recently, has resulted in a criminal case being opened against them.
The two friends entered the store and took several items into the fitting room. After trying on a skirt and two dresses, they decided to keep the items without paying. They wore the stolen clothes under their own outfits and left the store without settling the bill.
Authorities were alerted, and the stolen items, valued at 4,000 rubles, were returned to the store owner. The girls are now under a written pledge not to leave the area as the investigation continues.
The case has been classified as theft under Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. If convicted, the teenagers could face serious legal repercussions, despite their young age.
This incident highlights the growing concerns about juvenile delinquency in the region. Local law enforcement has urged parents and guardians to pay closer attention to their children's activities to prevent such occurrences in the future.
