YEREVAN, July 15. /ARKA/. Armenia’s Criminal Police has uncovered an organized crime group involved in computer theft.
According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a group of Armenian and foreign citizens had created a criminal group in an office on Garegin Nzhdeh Street in Yerevan and was committing computer theft.
