A Kursk resident, whose apartment housed six mining rigs, was robbed by his own neighbours. The local police reported<\/a> this to the local Ministry of Internal Affairs.<\/p>\n

The resident did not live in the apartment on a permanent basis and contacted the police when he noticed the equipment had stopped generating income.<\/p>\n

Police found no signs of a break-in and suspected that the miner’s neighbours were involved. This version was subsequently confirmed.<\/p>\n

According to the agency, a resident of the neighbouring apartment had long noticed the hum of the operating GPUs and the owner’s prolonged absence. Together with his girlfriend and a friend, he accessed the premises via a neighboring balcony. The suspects carried away 30 GPUs and hid them in a car.<\/p>\n

Local media reported<\/a> that the total value of the stolen equipment exceeded 4 million rubles.<\/p>\n

The suspects have already confessed and returned the property. They said they knew the GPUs’ value and planned to sell them.<\/p>\n

For theft with unlawful entry into the apartment, they face up to seven years in prison.<\/p>\n

Earlier in June, investigators from the criminal investigation department of Irkutsk Oblast detained a local resident for stealing equipment used for mining Bitcoin<\/a> worth 120,000 rubles.<\/p>\n
