China-Singapore Netcom, Liaoning, June 21 (Reporter Zhang Linhu) More than 50 power supply towers were stolen, with a value of more than one million yuan involved.

On the 21st, the reporter learned from the Public Security Bureau of Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, that the local police arrested all 7 suspects through careful investigation.

　　On June 5, 2021, the police in Naiman Banner, Tongliao City received a report that several local power supply towers were missing.

After investigation, more than 50 power supply towers in Daqin Tala Town, Naiman Banner, Baiyin Tara Sumu, and Guriban Hua Sumu were stolen. The stolen towers ranged from 30 to 50 meters in height and were stolen. The tower materials are all 8 to 15 meters high, which play a supporting and fixing role.

The loss of tower materials causes great safety hazards. In severe weather, it is easy to cause the tower to collapse, seriously threatening the lives and property of surrounding people, and will cause power outages throughout Naiman Banner and parts of Kulun Banner.

　　According to reports from the electric power department, their last inspection time was April 30, and more than a month has passed.

During the inspection by the electric power department, it also caused some pollution to the traces on the spot.

Due to the large time span of the case, many iron towers were involved, and they were all located in the wilderness, the case fell into a deadlock for a while.

　　After careful investigation, the local police extracted bite-marked cigarette butts at multiple crime scenes. The experienced police realized that such cigarette butts should be caused by the suspects who had stolen the cigarette butts for a long time and bit the cigarette in his mouth.

According to the analysis of the police, the theft is difficult for non-professionals to carry out, and the scope of the case is wide. It should be caused by suspects who have knowledge of the distribution of the tower and should have vehicles, tools and other necessities.

　　Subsequently, the police locked the scope of investigation among the construction personnel on the spot. After combing through the list of construction personnel, they finally successfully identified a criminal suspect and used this as a clue to track down the entire criminal gang, and then all the 7 suspects were identified. All the tower materials involved in the case have been recovered.

　　It turned out that, as analyzed by the police, the gang was indeed a member of a construction team.

The construction team came to work in Naiman Banner from a field and worked at the site of transporting power supply tower materials for only one morning. They believed that high-altitude operations were difficult and difficult, so it was better to dismantle the tower materials and sell them.

The 7 people hit it off immediately, and then stolen more than 50 power supply towers and fled into hiding.
