YEREVAN, DECEMBER 11, ARMENPRESS: Armenian law-enforcers have arrested
a criminal group that was engaged in car thefts.

A press release disseminated today by the National Security Service
said the ring stole expensive cars and then negotiated their return
to owners in return for a round sum of money.

When owners denied the ‘deal’ their cars were often destroyed and
burnt. The press release said the ring stole 24 cars in Yerevan in
2006 and 2007. The investigation into the case is being handled by
the National Security Service.
