The Sverdlovsk police have completed the investigation into the case of the arsenal of weapons seized in a local colony.
Employees of the Sverdlovsk police from the investigative department of the Internal Affairs Directorate of Kamensk-Uralsky have completed the investigation of the high-profile criminal case regarding the arsenal of weapons seized on November 13, 2025, on the territory of the local 47th colony of the Federal Penitentiary Service.
The case materials consist of five volumes. The indictment against the suspect has been sent for signing to the prosecutor's office, after which it will be submitted to the court for substantive consideration.
— Last autumn, the cache was discovered during verification activities by employees of the penitentiary institution in the cabin of a tractor with a refrigerated semi-trailer of the Peterbilt brand. Among the seized items: a Kalashnikov-74 assault rifle with a silencer and 90 cartridges of 5.45 mm caliber, a grenade fuse UZRG, a combat hand fragmentation offensive grenade RGN, 500 grams of gunpowder, 9 knives, a deactivated Makarov pistol, 19 sound and light action cartridges, a magazine for the Kalashnikov assault rifle, 7 radios, 4 tactical helmets, 4 backpacks, a balaclava, a bulletproof vest, a knuckle duster, two mobile phones, and accessories. Officially, the driver arrived at the colony to load manufactured woodworking products. The suspect, a citizen named Chapalov, is registered in the Orenburg region. He had previously been held criminally responsible for vehicle theft, but he did not end up in prison at that time due to reconciliation of the parties. The man partially admitted his guilt for transporting and storing weapons but refused to testify as a defendant. Until the court hearing, the suspect truck driver is being held in custody, said the press secretary of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sverdlovsk region, Valery Gorelykh.
According to him, the driver was fulfilling private orders for cargo transportation.
— The detained resident of the city of Orsk has been charged by representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with committing a crime related to the illegal circulation of weapons and ammunition. For such unlawful acts, the current legislation of our country provides for a punishment of imprisonment for up to 20 years, noted Colonel Gorelykh.
