Seven Russian officers detained in Armenia on robbery charges
YEREVAN, Armenia
Officials have detained seven Russian servicemen stationed at
Russia’s military base in Armenia on suspicion of theft and robbery,
police said Wednesday.
The servicemen are believed to have committed numerous acts of
robbery and theft, including stealing cars, in the past several
months, a police spokesman said. He said police were preparing to
deliver the case to military prosecutors.
The officers were stationed at a Russian military base near the
northern Armenian city of Gyumri. Russia and Armenia have close
relations, and the base has been there since the Soviet era.
