What could a Ukrainian couple want with a nearly $1 million anti-aircraft missile system left behind by Russian troops? That's the question Kiev regional police are grappling with after they announced Saturday that two individuals had removed a Russian missile and its ammunition.
A photo released by police appears to show the missile system covered by a black raincoat in a yard filled with tall grass and unkempt bushes.
The weapons are believed to have been left behind by Russian troops following hostilities in the Chernihiv region, northwest of the capital Kyiv, Kyiv regional police said in a statement released on Saturday. The fighting there took place in the first days of the war. But the rocket system and its ammunition were later moved, according to police.
Two people, aged 38 and 45 and both from the Boryspil district southeast of the city of Kyiv, have been named as suspects in the case. One is accused of hiding the launcher in the Brovary neighborhood in the northeast of the city of Kyiv. The other for storing ammunition in a garage box for rent in another part of the greater Kiev region.
It is suspected that both of them obtained the weapons illegally. A police spokeswoman told CNN that the suspects did not explain why they did what they did, only that the weapons were hidden.
