A man aged 44 from Chisinau was sentenced to six years and eight months in jail for robbery, IPN has learned from the Prosecutor General’s Office.

Last June, the man entered a jewelry shop, presenting himself as a police officer empowered to carry out a search. When asked by the administrator to present his permit, the man took out a pneumatic gun and fired several shots, threatening the sales clerks.

The man tied the hands of three employees. He wanted to steal golden items and money from the safe, but was hindered by clerks. He managed to run away with only 4,400 lei.

Later the man explained that he didn’t have a job and money for maintaining his family. The sentence can be appealed to a higher court.

The yellow fire hazard code has been extended for another week. The warning is maintained by the Authority for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring in the context of high temperatures and precipitation deficit, reports IPN.

According to meteorologists, the current weather conditions favor the persistence of an exceptional danger of outbreak and spread of vegetation fires. The exceptional fire danger persists throughout the entire territory of the Republic of Moldova. In the following days, temperatures are forecasted to reach up to +36 degrees Celsius.

During the yellow code period, the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations recommends avoiding the use of open fire, prohibiting the burning of plant residues for land sanitation, and strict supervision of ignition sources.
