In Grodno, girls aged 14 and 15 face prison colony for online shopping
The teenagers spent their time trying to access other people's profiles on a popular marketplace by randomly entering various phone numbers. A successful attempt was made with the old number of their acquaintance — the system allowed the schoolgirls into someone else's account.

Grodno schoolgirls, aged 14 and 15, were trying different numbers to log in to a trading platform until they accidentally succeeded.
Seeing that a stranger's bank card was linked to the profile, the girls didn't stop. They began to mass-order goods. The total amount of the teenagers' shopping spree at someone else's expense was almost 4,000 rubles.
The real owner of the account and the money turned out to be a 53-year-old resident of the Ivatsevichy district. Noticing that a huge amount of money had disappeared from the card, the woman went to the police. The girls were tracked down.
Now, a criminal case has been initiated against the minors for property theft by modifying computer information, committed by a group of persons.
Criminal liability for such computer thefts in Belarus begins at the age of 14.
The schoolgirls now face up to 5 years of imprisonment.
Why this happened
The police remind: if a person stops using a SIM card, the mobile operator sells this number to another client after six months to a year. To prevent your old numbers from becoming an easy target for others, before blocking the SIM card, you must:
unlink the old number from all marketplaces (Wildberries, Ozon, AliExpress) and register a new one there;
disconnect the number from online banking and bank cards (via a mobile application or at a bank branch);
change the number in all messengers and social networks, including Telegram, Viber, Instagram, and Google accounts.
