Police officers immediately began taking action. The 50-year-old perpetrator and his 18-year-old accomplice were arrested later that same day.

The spokeswoman adds:

During the investigation, officers established that in October the 50-year-old had committed two more similar offences.

Both cases were similar. The 50-year-old visited acquaintances and, beating them in the face and striking them on the body with a meat tenderizer, took their mobile phones and other electronic devices.

Both robbers were placed in temporary custody for three months. Police: – The crime of robbery carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison. (Since the older suspect is a repeat offender, he may even spend longer behind bars.)
