Law enforcement is investigating the alleged illegal imprisonment of a 15-year-old girl in St. Petersburg. The incident occurred on Udarnikov Avenue when a man forcibly placed the teenager into the back seat of a Hyundai Solaris.
The girl managed to escape after passers-by noticed the event and intervened. The Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee for St. Petersburg initiated the investigation on June 11, citing Article 127 of the Criminal Code.
The teenager’s identity has been confirmed, and she has corroborated the details of the incident. Eyewitnesses filmed the event, capturing the man’s actions as he put the girl in the car and prevented her from leaving.
Police detained two individuals for questioning: a 36-year-old citizen of Uzbekistan, believed to have been in the car during the incident, and a 45-year-old citizen of Kyrgyzstan. The investigator is awaiting the older man to conduct further investigative actions.
