In Petropavlovsk, probation officers prevented an attempted escape by a convicted individual under supervision who had been sentenced to restriction of freedom.

As part of the “Uchastok” operational and preventive campaign, inspectors noticed that the signal from the electronic monitoring bracelet had disappeared. Officers immediately went to the offender’s place of residence and apprehended him as he attempted to leave the city with a damaged bracelet.

It was later revealed that the man had planned to travel to another city with his friends.

“Previously, the offender had repeatedly left his residence at unauthorized times, violating his curfew and other obligations imposed by the court. Therefore, probation officers submitted the case to court to replace his restriction of freedom with imprisonment”,- the Department reported.

In total, since the beginning of the year, 122 probationers in the North Kazakhstan region have had their sentences replaced with imprisonment for various violations, including the deliberate damage of electronic monitoring devices.
