The incident occurred early in the morning when the victim caught a "taxi" in the center of Moscow. There were two men in the vehicle who offered him an apparently laden portion of coffee. The victim lost consciousness and woke up north of Moscow, while his belongings, including a phone and credit cards, were missing. Stolen property would rise to approximately £ 1,000 ($ 1,300).
The Briton has revealed himself to be a BBC journalist, who covered the FIFA World Cup in Russia. The BBC confirmed the information to the Interfax news agency, adding that the journalist had continued his work after the incident. The victim reported the incident to the Moscow police, who was quick to apprehend the suspects.
The police soon followed the "taxi" and the driver, who turned out to be without a license. The second suspect was also followed and apprehended by the police, according to the spokesman of the Ministry of the Interior, Irina Volk. A criminal investigation into the incident has been launched. Theft, committed by a group of people, could bring the perpetrators behind bars for five years.
