Cellphones, cash, and equipment belonging to police officials were stolen from barracks inside the Diplomatic Enclave and other areas of Islamabad, including G-9/2 and G-6.

Safe City Equipment Stolen in G-9/2

Thieves stole the Islamabad Safe City Authority’s equipment from Street No. 11, G-9/2, roughly 1.5 kilometres from the Karachi Company Police Station.

The theft came to light when a Safe City technician visited the area for routine maintenance and found the lock of a pole broken. Upon inspection, he discovered that a battery worth Rs. 35,000 had been stolen. Authorities believe the incident may have occurred overnight.

A case has been registered, and investigators are reviewing CCTV footage from nearby areas to trace the suspects.

A First Information Report (FIR) was filed at the Secretariat Police Station under Section 380 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) on the complaint of Mohammad Usman.

According to the police, unknown thieves entered the barracks and stole several mobile phones and cash, including:

The stolen items belonged to police officials identified as Mohammad Hayat, Mohammad Husnain, Azmat Khan, Naseer Ullah, Rozi Khan, Shafi Ullah, Imdad Ullah, Nasir, and Mohammad Usman.

Burglary Reported in Police Block, G-6

In a separate incident, burglars broke into a police block apartment in CDA Flats, G-6/1-6, stealing household items and a police uniform.

Police teams, including female officers, reached the scene and discovered an unidentified woman inside the flat. However, she managed to escape before being apprehended.
