Shukurullo Isroilov's car was stolen in Uchtepa
A case of a car belonging to the famous Uzbek artist Shukurullo Isroilov being stolen occurred in Tashkent city. This was reported by Upl.uz.
A 27-year-old local resident took advantage of the car door being left unlocked, drove off with a Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The incident took place on Zargarlik Street in the Uchtepa district, where the car was parked.
According to the investigation data, the artist did not lock the car registered in his child's name and left the keys inside the cabin. The young man saw this situation and decided to take advantage of the opportunity.
In court, he stated that he did not intend to steal, but simply wanted to ride in a prestigious car. He drove around the streets of Tashkent and stopped in front of a car wash in the Uchtepa district.
He was quickly apprehended by law enforcement agencies due to the prompt reporting of the incident. Shukurullo Isroilov, commenting on the event, stated that he initially took the loss of his car as a joke.
When he went out to the street, the car was gone. He then called the emergency services at 102.
After a few minutes, law enforcement officials informed that the car had been found and the suspect had been apprehended. At the end of the court proceedings, the young man was found guilty under Article 267 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
This article provides for liability for the theft of a vehicle. He was sentenced to two years of imprisonment.
The suspect expressed remorse for his actions, but this did not affect the court's decision. It should be noted that cases of car theft are not uncommon in Uzbekistan.
For example, previously in the Surkhandarya region, a man under the influence of alcohol stole a car and caused a traffic accident. He lost control while trying to escape from law enforcement officers and was apprehended.
In recent years, many measures have been intensified in Uzbekistan to prevent car thefts. Video cameras have been installed along the streets, and GPS tracking systems have been introduced for vehicles.
Nevertheless, the failure of owners to lock their cars remains one of the main reasons for such crimes. Therefore, it is important to always lock vehicles and take security measures.
