A reminder to the public when suspicious items are found
Know: the appearance of the item may hide its real purpose. Ordinary household items are used as camouflage for explosive devices: bags, packages, bundles, boxes, toys, etc.
Signs indicating the explosive nature of the detected object:
the presence of an unknown parcel or any object at the car, on the stairs, in the apartment, etc.;
someone else's bag, briefcase, box, any object; unusual placement of the detected object at the car, apartment doors, in the entrance;
stretched wire, cord, wires visible from the outside of objects, power supplies or insulating tape;
noises from a detected suspicious object (characteristic sound, clockwork, low-frequency noises).
If you find a suspicious object, do not ignore this fact:
1)in public transport:
interview people nearby and try to establish the ownership of the item (bags, etc.) or who could have left it;
if the owner is not installed, immediately report the discovery to the driver or conductor.
2) in the entrance of his house:
ask the neighbors, maybe the item belongs to them. If the owner is not identified, immediately report the find to law enforcement agencies (tel. 102, 112).
3)on the street, park, etc.:
look around, if possible, try to install the owner. If it is not installed, immediately report the discovery to law enforcement agencies (tel.102, 112);
try to protect or at a remote distance to prevent outsiders from approaching the object. Upon arrival of law enforcement officers, transmit information about the time of detection of the object.
4)in an institution, organization:
immediately report the discovery to the security officer or the administration of the facility.
Do not take independent actions with finds or suspicious objects that may turn out to be explosive devices — this can lead to their explosion, numerous victims, destruction.
It is strictly forbidden:
to open, to move, to lift, to carry an object, to pick up;
put an object in pockets, briefcase, bag, etc.;
bury them in the ground or throw them into reservoirs;
to break or pull the wire or wires departing from objects, to make attempts to neutralize them;
use discovered unfamiliar objects;
use radio and electrical equipment, cell phones in the immediate vicinity of the object.
