The court of Lepel District considered a criminal case on the accusation of a resident of the village of Zornitsa under Part 2 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. The previously convicted resident of the village of Zornitsa, having an unexpunged and unquashed conviction, during the probationary period with conditional non-application of punishment, was accused of having, at the end of September 2018, repeatedly, intentionally, gratuitously, seized the property of the victim, stole cash in the amount of 93 Belarusian rubles from her house, causing her damage in the aforementioned amount, after which he fled the scene of the crime and disposed of the property at his own discretion.

Thus, the day before, he had been drinking and felt the need for a hangover cure. He decided to visit his aunt, but she was not at home. Then he decided to break into the house to find alcohol. Using a metal rod, he opened the front door. Upon entering the house, he searched the rooms but found no alcohol, so he decided to steal money to buy some. The resident of the village of Zornitsa knew where his aunt kept her money. After taking the money, he put it in his pocket and left the house. Upon returning home, he changed his clothes and went to the shop to buy alcohol.

Both during the preliminary investigation and the court investigation, the accused pleaded guilty and sincerely repented.

By the verdict of the court of Lepel District, the resident of the village of Zornitsa was found guilty of secret theft of property, with unlawful entry into a dwelling, and was sentenced to imprisonment for a term of 2 years. The unserved part of the punishment under the previous sentence was added to the newly imposed punishment, and the final punishment was determined as imprisonment for a term of 2 years and 2 months, to be served in a correctional colony under a general regime. Material damages in the amount of 43 rubles were recovered in favour of the victim.

The court's verdict has entered into legal force.
