During a search of the home of Horlivka's "headless hitman" Titov, the "cops" stole a PM
From the arsenal of weapons found on the grounds of a property in the Hrodonyk gardening association in Dergachi district of Kharkiv region, where previously convicted 47-year-old Horlivka native Oleksiy Titov lived — a figure in the so-called "Bloody hunt in Kharkiv," a participant in the shooting on Klochkivska Street near the Vostorg supermarket 25 October 2019, who, while fleeing from police, died when his own grenade exploded — a Makarov pistol was stolen. This information is contained in the court registry materials.
According to those materials, since July 2020 investigators from the Poltava territorial office of the State Bureau of Investigation have been checking the involvement of a senior operative of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Novobavarsky police department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kharkiv region in the theft of the weapon. In August 2020 law enforcement obtained a court warrant to search his vehicle, office, and residence to find the stolen PM.
According to a source at Detective-Info, this concerned 26-year-old Senior Lieutenant Ivan Chebanenko.

The alleged theft of a firearm by this "cop" through abuse of official position (part 2 of Art. 262 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) was corroborated by a witness statement and materials from the Kharkiv Department of the Department of Internal Security of the National Police. Allegedly, it was Ivan Oleksiyovych who during the search of Titov's property could have stolen the Makarov pistol.
As is known, reports about the discovery of one of the largest arsenals of weapons in recent years on the plot of the Hrodonyk gardening association in the village of Ruska Lozova, where the hitman Titov lived and who was involved in several high-profile attacks in Kharkiv region (who on 25 October 2019 near the Vostorg supermarket wounded criminal authority Heorhiy Isakov nicknamed "Boxer"/"Zhorik" and shot dead Volodymyr Borokh — "Tyson"), appeared on social networks on the evening of 26 October 2019.
On 28 October 2019 these details were officially confirmed at a briefing by the then-head of the regional National Police of Kharkiv, Valeriy Sokurenko, and his deputy Serhiy Chyzh. In total, it involved 130 underbarrel grenades for an underbarrel grenade launcher, 5 TNT blocks, 7 hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers, electric detonators, 6 infantry flamethrowers "Shmel," fragments of small arms, automatic weapons, shotguns, pistols, a large quantity of ammunition of various calibers, and so on.
It will later be established: literally a day before law enforcement reported this find, a childhood friend of Titov, who was considered a likely supplier of weapons and ammunition to the hitman — 45-year-old volunteer Eduard Karnytskyi — left Ukrainian territory. He was the first coach of the celebrated Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Gvozdyk and head of the security service for Kharkiv authority Vadym Kazartsev, nicknamed "Knyaz."

As for Titov himself, during his escape from the scene of the bloody massacre near Vostorg in Kharkiv, the man reached Hvardiytsiv Zaliznychnykiv Street, where, surrounded by "cops," he detonated a grenade, literally "losing his head" and dying.
