The masked robbers entered the game room and the police claimed that they were in use in the context of drug enforcement. The establishments in the regular present a security company employees had to lie on the ground, if they have got tear gas sprayed in his eyes. An employee of the gaming rooms was shot because he had pressed the alarm button. The amount of prey is unknown, but were found to be robbers, police discovered the vehicle 104 500 LVL. That the attack just in the moment of transfer took place of the revenue to a cash transport, suggests that the police possessed insider knowledge.
This is not the first case that casts a shadow on the reputation of the police in Latvia.

Murniece acknowledged during the interview, a question of fundamental problems with the police and especially the special unit Alfa. In four years, there have been 40 complaints supervision. The Minister complained that an elite force must behave accordingly. She responded by leave of some high officials, including the commander of the special unit Alfa. In addition, all over 7,000 people were questioned by the police psychologist and the Department check, whether part-time jobs could lead to crime-fighters to conflicts of interest.
