She noted that this happened in the spring.
“The police, as expected, carried out pre-investigation measures and found on CCTV cameras that an unknown 30-year-old man had kidnapped the shooter and put him in the trunk of his car. What was unusual in the practice of Tver law enforcement officers was that the license plates on the car were red “, – said the speaker.
According to her, officers of the road patrol service stopped the man on the same day for violating traffic rules.
“An employee of the American Embassy was at the wheel, in all respects suitable for orientation. Question. Why does an employee of the American diplomatic mission need a pointer? on the abduction of a railway pointer from the Tver region? ” – noted Zakharova.
She added that the diplomat put the lives of the Russians at risk, as the Ostashkovsky junction is a busy section of the railroad.
“If the loss had not been found in time, a tragedy could have happened. In this, the embassy employees completely repeat the logic of the Chekhovian hero. The same cannot be said about the punishment: the Americans did not remove the immunity from the employee and sent him to the States,” the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said.
TV channel NTV posted on Twitter a video of the abduction of the pointer and named the name of the diplomat – Parker Wilson. In the video, a man walks up to a pointer by the railway tracks, looks at it, and then pulls it out and takes it with him.

“Fontanka” wrote that the diplomat collects railway signs.
Heads of the Interregional Trade Union of Railway Workers Yevgeny Kulikov in the commentary MK.ru said that such pointers have not been used for 50 years.
“Of course, you need to know more precisely where this sign was. But, judging by the picture that slipped through the media, such arrow signs on the main and main tracks of railway transport are no longer used, probably for 50-60 years. As a rule, they are placed on auxiliary arrows for manual translation. Now all the arrows are automated and work from the control panel. And there are no pointers on them, “the expert said.
He suggested that the sign stood on one of the auxiliary tracks, where there is no active train traffic, but industrial railway transport drives.
