"Security Forces" Solve Mystery of 4 Diesel Theft and Telecom Tower Sabotage Cases in "Jaber Al-Ahmad" Under Closed Investigation

The Criminal Security Sector, represented by the General Directorate of Criminal Investigations – Capital Governorate Criminal Investigation Department, has solved the mystery of four cases of diesel theft and the sabotage of telecommunications towers in the Jaber Al-Ahmad area, which had been registered against unknown perpetrators, and arrested four Indian nationals caught in the act.

The arrests followed intensified investigative efforts, inquiries, and the use of modern technical means, including monitoring telecommunications towers. It emerged that the suspects were employed by a contracted company responsible for their maintenance, and they exploited their work to siphon excessive amounts of diesel, using part of it to compensate for shortages at other towers.

Upon interrogation, the suspects confessed to committing these offenses over a two-year period at various locations. Further investigations revealed their involvement in similar incidents across different governorates of the country. Inventory and investigative work are ongoing in preparation for referring them to the competent authorities to take the necessary legal actions against them.

The Ministry of Interior reaffirms its continued efforts to pursue perpetrators of theft and protect vital infrastructure and facilities, dealing firmly with anyone who dares to tamper with them or harm the country’s interests.
