BlockBeats News, November 25th, according to DL News, the St. Petersburg police in Russia arrested a man on November 22nd. The individual attempted to detonate a fake hand grenade inside the office of a cryptocurrency exchange in order to rob the cryptocurrency assets. The police apprehended him at the exchange office.

The St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region Interior Ministry stated that the suspect is a 21-year-old unemployed man from the Leningrad Region (District 47). A Ministry spokesperson explained, "The man broke into the exchange office, detonated two fake hand grenades, and set off a smoke bomb. He then demanded that the staff transfer all of the exchange's cryptocurrency assets to his personal wallet."

Fake hand grenades are typically used in live-action airsoft games, which are team-based recreational activities where players use realistic simulated firearms and throw explosive devices containing plastic pellets in simulated combat scenarios. The police stated that when the man was apprehended, he was also carrying two undetonated fake hand grenades. Initially, bomb disposal experts were dispatched by the Ministry to ensure that the man was not carrying actual explosives capable of causing lethal harm.

The Ministry stated that the man has been arrested on-site and is currently in continued detention. The police have charged him under Article 162 of the Russian Criminal Code, which pertains to robbery offenses. The Ministry and Russian media have not disclosed the name of the involved cryptocurrency exchange. However, map data indicates that the building houses the Yzex cryptocurrency exchange, whose office was also open to the public on Saturday.
