He directed the vehicle in that direction. Meanwhile, one of the cars disappeared at high speed. But the prevention inspector managed to stop the second car - "Nexia". 

Even the model of the car raised the suspicion of the major. Because livestock has been stolen in several neighborhoods in recent months, during the investigations, witnesses reported that they saw a white "Nexia" on the days of the crime. 

The mayor took the driver's license and vehicle documents from the suspect and began to inspect the car. In the process, the polythene film and animal dung lying on the trunk caught his attention. The owner of the car explained the situation by the fact that a calf was loaded into his car recently. Instead, this prompted the prevention inspector to examine the field with a flashlight. Major's efforts were not in vain, the calf was seen in the thick grass 300 meters away... 

Soon, it was found that the livestock found in the field had been stolen from the yard of a resident of "Dostlik" neighborhood a month ago. 

Major Jaloliddin Otabekov was assigned to clarify the situation. During the initial investigation, he was able to find out that a criminal group of 7 people, consisting mainly of young men, committed 9 crimes in Arnasoy and Dostlik districts. 

It is known that the criminals living in the "Bunyodkor" neighborhood of Dostlik district drove around the fields in different cars during the day and took care of abandoned livestock. At night, criminal goals were fulfilled. The stolen oxen, calves and sheep were bought by a broker living in Aqoltin district of Syrdarya region. 

It is worth noting that most of the young men do not have economic problems in their families, and the leader of the criminal group is a university student. During the investigation, one of them explained his actions as having indulged in online gambling, while the other admitted that he indulged in gluttony. 

It should be said that the crimes were committed in "Captiva", "Gentra" and "Nexia" cars. Another information: the damage caused to the victims was fully compensated by the relatives of the members of the criminal group.
