A 69-year-old local resident filed a report with the Shohmansur District DMIA in Dushanbe, alleging that in early January 2026, unknown persons stole five pigeons from a pigeon coop and fled at the spot.
The damage amounted to $12,200.
During an operational search, militia detained young men aged 22 and 25, and a minor aged 17, residents of the capital, on suspicion of theft.
An investigation is underway.
