Thieves Steal ₹15-Lakh Pipes in Jabalpur
Some thieves broke into a warehouse in Jabalpur and stole a lot of water pipes worth ₹15 lakh.
They used big trucks and a special crane to carry the pipes away.
The pipes were supposed to be used for a big water project that gives water to many villages.
The police are now trying to find the thieves by looking at cameras and asking for help to find the trucks.
They also found out that a smaller pump was stolen from a hospital earlier, but that's not related to this big theft.
Thieves stole 83 water pipes worth ₹15 lakh from a warehouse in Jabalpur.
The pipes were meant for a multi-village water supply scheme implemented by the MP Water Corporation.
The burglars used three trucks (registered in Gujarat) and a hydra crane (registered in Madhya Pradesh) to flee.
Police are monitoring CCTV footage and have registered a case to find the accused.
Earlier, a submersible pump worth ₹12,000 was stolen from a veterinary hospital in Chhatarpur.
