One tweet translates as "[February] 16th we were detained at the 7 hours, on 17th we spent 10 hours at the FSB [Russian security services], and today in the paddy wagon ride, accused of THEFT."

The other member appears to be Maria Alekhina, who also served almost two years in prison on a hooliganism conviction after they performed a punk prayer inside a Moscow cathedral.

Russian police have not confirmed the claims.
