On April 24, criminal proceedings were initiated in connection with the disruption of traffic on the Yerevan-Yeraskh highway using burning tires. According to reports from the Investigative Committee, this incident occurred at a specific time of 4:25 p.m. The proceedings were initiated under the category of group hooliganism (Article 297, Part 2, Clause 1 of the Criminal Code).
Unidentified individuals moved Ford Tranzit, BMW X5, and Mercedes Benz cars to the lanes of the Yerevan-Yeraskh interstate highway in the Masisi section, where they piled up numerous tires.
