An armed robbery took place at a major trade center close to the
International Airport of Baku on June 10.
The plunderers took away $120,000, 35,000 manats and 450 Russian Rubles (over $160,000 in total) from a person who originally comes from the Masally district at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Bina trade center, Lider TV reported.
The criminals had followed the man who collected money from the sellers working at the center for the supplied goods and approached him when he was heading to his car.
