What happened?
According to the investigation, on November 20, a group of individuals, led by a local resident, carefully planned the robbery. Knowing that the courier would be transporting money in a “Cobalt” car that day, the perpetrators removed the license plates from their two vehicles — a “Lacetti” and another “Cobalt” — to avoid identification.
Wearing masks, they began tailing the courier’s car and attacked it on one of the streets in Andijan by throwing stones at the vehicle when it stopped by the roadside. However, the driver managed to escape the scene, thwarting the criminals’ plan and preventing the robbery from being completed.
