On April 24, criminal proceedings were initiated in connection with the intentional disruption of traffic on the Yerevan-Yeraskh highway using burning tires. The incident occurred at a specific time of 4:25 p.m. and was investigated by the police. According to reports from the Investigative Committee, group hooliganism charges (Article 297, Part 2, Clause 1 of the Criminal Code) were filed against unidentified individuals who moved Ford Tranzit, BMW X5, and Mercedes Benz cars to the lanes of the Yerevan-Yeraskh interstate highway in Masisi. They then set numerous tires on fire on one side towards Yeraskh and on the other side towards Yerevan, causing a disruption in traffic for a certain period of time.
The deliberate disruption of traffic with burning tires on a busy highway is a serious offense that requires swift action to bring those responsible to justice. The police have been instructed to identify and locate these individuals and present them to the appropriate authorities for further legal proceedings. This incident highlights the need for increased safety measures along busy highways and for stricter enforcement of laws against disruptive behavior that endangers public safety.
