It is not yet clear whether the criminals knew that their victim would be traveling along this particular route, but the incident itself was captured by the camera of a dashcam installed in a car that happened to be nearby.

There is reason to believe that the license plates of the Audi that appeared in the frame will help the police track down the perpetrators.

It is worth adding that similar cases of robberies on the roads being recorded by dashcams have occurred before. For example, in August 2013, a similar armed attack in Kyiv was captured on video.
