Three Foreign Nationals Arrested on Charges of Robbery

Officers from the Isani-Samgori Main Division of the Tbilisi Police Department (under the Ministry of Internal Affairs) have arrested three foreign nationals on charges of robbery committed as a group.

The investigation established that the perpetrators gained entry into the temporary residence of two foreign nationals through deception. Once inside, they inflicted physical injuries upon the victims, bound their hands and feet with adhesive tape, and—threatening their lives with a bladed weapon—stole 2,000 GEL belonging to them, before fleeing the scene.

Law enforcement officers apprehended the accused shortly after the incident, following a series of operational measures and investigative actions.

The investigation is being conducted under Article 179 of the Criminal Code of Georgia, which carries a penalty of up to 12 years of imprisonment.
