Unknown men broke into the store and, threatening the employees with an item looking like a pistol, stole the jewelry. The inflicted financial damage exceeded 9 million rubles.

“As a result of the investigation and search measures, Moscow criminal investigation officers detained four suspects aged from 19 to 31. In the course of the searches at the suspects' place of residence, the police found and confiscated 2 non-lethal pistols, a fake Kalashnikov gun, a sawn-off shotgun, brass knuckles, handcuffs, and a part of the stolen jewelry,” added Irina Volk.

The court remanded the malefactors in custody.
