It has become known that a repeat offender has been caught, who has robbed 12 banks in Yekaterinburg under his belt.
A man who stole almost 40 million rubles from financial institutions will be tried.
RIA Novosti reports this with reference to the press service of the Sverdlovsk Region Prosecutor's Office.
It is noted that the bank robber operated for eight years.
Between 2015 and 2023, the thief committed 12 successful robberies of banks, as a result of which financial institutions lost approximately 39.8 million rubles.
The 45-year-old man managed to escape justice by growing a beard before each robbery, which he shaved off immediately after the crime.
Using a gun-like object, the thief threatened bank employees and forced them to take cash from the vaults.
The man was caught in yet another robbery, which he tried to pull off in May last year. The criminal was detained and a criminal case was opened against him for robbery on an especially large scale.
