Section 158 of the Criminal Code clearly defines theft as a form of crime against property, as well as liability for the act. To restore violated rights and return property, citizens have the opportunity to apply to the law enforcement authorities with an appropriate statement.
Instruction manual
1
It is best to write a statement directly at the police station, this will save time and energy on the formulation of the text itself. The main thing is to listen carefully to the person on duty, to delve into the meaning of the statement and write only what you fully agree with. If you decide to write the application yourself at home, it is better to print it on a computer using the standard scheme.
2
In the upper right corner, you need to indicate the police station to which you submit a statement, for example, "On duty number
", then enter the official, you can write in a general way, but it’s much more efficient to indicate the name of the chief.
Next, you need to enter all your data: name, address and contact information, write in the center in capital letters the word "Statement" and go directly to the statement of the existing problem.
3
Despite the fact that the further text is not regulated, it needs to be written clearly, unambiguously and structured. There should be no ambiguous phrases and unnecessary information, the essence should be stated briefly and clearly, paying attention only to facts.
4
You must specify the estimated time of the crime, identify possible witnesses and make an assumption about the identity of the offender, if you have objective grounds.
5
At the end of the statement, it makes sense to make a link to the text of the Code of Criminal Procedure, paragraph 1 of article 145, which describes the duties of the investigator, interrogator and the body of inquiry, which will show your legal competence, which means that it will deprive the duty officer of the idea to reject your application.
6
Below you must definitely enter information that you are aware of the responsibility for knowingly false denunciation in accordance with Art. 306 of the Criminal Code, as this can also be a reason for refusing to accept the application.
7
At the end of the text you must put the date and signature. Moreover, the signature should be located directly at the end of the text so that it was not possible to enter anything there.
note
It is necessary to distinguish from similar theft types of crimes such as robbery, robbery and fraud, because, firstly, these are different articles of the Criminal Code, secondly, a different degree of responsibility for the act, and thirdly, clear wording in the statement will greatly simplify and that not least, they will accelerate the actions of law enforcement officials. Robbery involves violence, i.e. if you were hit on the head and the handbag was taken away, it makes no sense to write a theft statement. Robbery is an open theft, while theft is carried out secretly. Fraud implies deception.
