A case involving the theft of crude oil from the main pipeline of Pakistan Oilfields Limited (POL) has surfaced. According to details, 3,904 barrels of crude oil were reportedly stolen in the Dhamial area.
An employee of the POL, Shahid Ahmed, reported in the FIR that he and the company’s patrolling official, Haris bin Fida, were on duty Saturday morning when they noticed suspicious activity near a plot adjacent to the oil pipeline in Dhoke Noor Dhamial.
He added that they discovered crude oil leaking on the spot upon reaching the plot. They found the company’s 10-inch-diameter main line punctured when they dug up the land to a depth of five feet. Furthermore, Shahid stated that an additional pipe was attached to it to steal crude oil.
