[HIGHLIGHTS] A shipment of flowers worth 1.8 million rubles was stolen in the Urals

A shipment of flowers worth 1.8 million rubles was stolen in the Urals. The goods had to be delivered from Chelyabinsk to Omsk and Novosibirsk.

The attackers, posing as the customer, contacted the carrier and assigned him a new place for unloading flowers in the city of Yekaterinburg. Later they sold the goods to another store for approximately 500 thousand rubles. Experts previously interviewed by RT warned that scammers usually become more active on holidays.
