Cyclist with hoax bomb detained in Minsk


The 36-year-old man has done similar things before.

On July 10, two police officers noticed a suspicious man. The cyclist stopped in front of the Interior Ministry building in the Haradski Val street and wanted to leave at the door a box with the inscription “Warning.Bomb”. Law enforcers detained the “bomber”, blocked the street and called sappers who found dummy explosives in the bag.

“We immediately approached the stranger and asked if everything was OK. He turned the box with inscription “Attention.Bomb”. There was no time to think. We clearly understood that it may have been a fake or a real explosive device. Therefore we operated smoothly and quickly,” mvd.gov.by quoted policeman Raman Semyanenka.

A criminal case under article “hooliganism” was launched against the arrested man. He is currently in a temporary detention facility.
