The crime situation in the country is not just alarming — is already close to panic. Not long ago a robbery was regarded as a serious emergency and was seen by police officers as a sort of challenge: they “dug the earth”, but found criminals. Now such crimes have become an ordinary thing — the bill was over a thousand attacks per month. However, to say that the police “does nothing”, it is impossible, however, there is information and complicity “financially interested” officials.
In today’s publication by the “observer” will tell about the situation in the regions, analyze the attack and give specific examples. Not to “awe”, and to draw attention to a colossal problem. And, of course, to warn the citizens.
The article used as the official data (police, Prosecutor’s office) and valuable information has been obtained from sources the “Internet options” in the criminal world and law enforcement. Of course, on the condition of anonymity.
Robberies occur in all regions of Ukraine, however, according to sources, least of all on the territory of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. There are several reasons: the saturation of the “border” area law enforcement and the military, as well as more hard and fast response to any emergency.
Do not forget that many representatives of the criminal world left as occupied territory, and with our part of the Donbass. The financial attractiveness of the region is quite low.
In the Donetsk region of such crimes “affect” is mostly credit / financial institution type “Shvidko Groshi”, etc., which operate in large cities — for example, Kramatorsk. The offender knows that such “offices” are guaranteed to have cash.
But the attacks with penetration in private homes in this region — a rarity.
