RIA Novosti reported this with reference to a source in law enforcement agencies.
“The suspect stole 21 grenades and asked his friend to take them to St. Petersburg and give them to a specific person,” the statement says.
According to the data presented, the recipient was another friend of the first sender, who “just had to hold them at home.”
At the moment, all three participants in the conspiracy have been detained, a criminal case has been opened under Art. 222.1 of the Criminal Code of Russia (illegal acquisition, transfer, sale, storage or carrying of explosives or explosive devices).
In October, in Donetsk, the FSB stopped an attempt to sell ammunition for a grenade launcher and mortar.
