A pickpocket stole a phone from a deaf-blind woman from Yekaterinburg on a bus
August 23, 2026 A visually impaired group I disabled activist, Tatyana Kiryanova, became a victim of a pickpocket in Yekaterinburg, who stole her smartphone on a bus. This was reported by "KP-Yekaterinburg."
The theft occurred last Thursday, August 20, around 4:30 PM, when Tatyana was getting on bus route 74 (Gromova - Traktorная) at the "Frunze" stop.
She couldn't see, but felt that a tall man was pushing against her, trying to get out. "We are getting out, we are getting out," he kept saying, shoving Tatyana.
The woman's handbag was hanging on her shoulder, and she had a cane in her other hand. Once seated, she realized that her handbag was unzipped and the phone that was inside had disappeared, writes "KP-Yekaterinburg." At the bank branch where the robbed Yekaterinburg woman rushed, they helped her close the intruders' access to her bank account. Upon getting home and logging into her computer, she discovered that the thief had already attempted to access her account.
