Ten Moldovans robbing elite mansions in Moscow have been arrested by the Russian authorities.

The men, aged 26 through 42, were members of a criminal network and had been earlier sentenced for similar felonies in Moldova.

The goods stolen in Russian were smuggled to Moldova. 

"There were precious things, luxury objects, post marks collections, coins collections, items of gold and precious metals, fake ID cards and weapons. Their value is assessed," said prosecutor Lilian Bacalîm.
