September 21, Minsk / Viktor Grinkov - BELTA /. The police have compiled a composite sketch of the suspects in the robbery of a Belinvestbank exchange office in Vitebsk. This was reported to a BELTA correspondent by the Information and Public Relations Department of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee. As reported, the crime was committed on September 18 around 1 p.m. When the cashier was leaving the exchange office, two men took advantage of the moment, attacked the woman and tied her up. More than Br30 million, 60 thousand Russian rubles, 2.3 thousand euros, and more than $4 thousand were stolen. The "Interception" plan was introduced in the city, but the search for the criminals has not yet yielded results. This is not the first case of an attack on a currency exchange office in Belarus this year. For example, on April 6, an unknown criminal attempted to break into a currency exchange office in the House of Services building on Moskovskaya Street in Minsk. The employee of the office managed to press the alarm button and call the police. The attacker managed to escape. A criminal case has been initiated in the Moskovsky District Department of Internal Affairs under Article 14 of the Criminal Code ("Attempted Crime") and Part 2 of Article 206 of the Criminal Code ("Robbery"). A week earlier, on the evening of March 30, an unknown person in a mask committed a robbery attack on a Belarusbank branch in the Moskovsky district on Pryamaya Street in Minsk. Then the criminal, threatening with a pistol, seized $1915, 850 euros, 2200 Russian rubles, and Br2.3 million and escaped. A similar crime occurred on February 21. Then an unknown person, dressed in summer military camouflage, committed a robbery attack on a currency exchange office in the Prostor hypermarket.
