A Russian stole a bag of money, but did not notice it and threw it away.
The curious incident was reported on Thursday, August 29, by the press service of the Chelyabinsk police.
The man saw that the window of the first floor apartment was open. He took advantage of this to steal the bag.
The thief examined the contents and took 5 thousand rubles and a smartphone. But the criminal did not discover that the bag had a secret storage for money.
The Russian threw away the accessory after failing to find a large sum of dollars. In rubles, it was more than 500 thousand (about $5.5 thousand).
Later, the thief, born in 1984, was detained hot on the trail by the city police patrol service. The criminal turned out to be a resident of Chelyabinsk.
The police found the bag after a tip from the thief. It was then that it became clear that the unsuccessful thief had looked through a large sum of cash.
The man will be held criminally liable for what he did. He is accused of committing a burglary. The defendant had a previous conviction.
