Authorities in the capital have detained four Islamabad police officers accused of executing an armed raid on the residence of two Chinese citizens located in the F-7/1 sector.
A law enforcement official stated that the four individuals wore uniform attire during the heist and acted alongside an accomplice, making off with Rs. 2 million in cash alongside a mobile phone valued at Rs. 15,000.
Law enforcement officials filed a formal case citing Section 395 of the Pakistan Penal Code concerning dacoity and started legal action against the detained personnel.
The First Information Report details that the event transpired near 2:20 a.m. when an individual dressed in official uniform gained entry to the premises and walked toward the staff quarters.
The suspect roused a day shift security guard and a driver who were resting inside, escorting them outdoors toward a dark Toyota Corolla equipped with an emergency revolving light.
Inside the automobile sat four armed men, with three wearing police attire, before the group forced the guard and driver back inside the property alongside the vehicle.
Climbing through a window, the armed perpetrators targeted two Chinese citizens at gunpoint, locking them together with two workers inside the drawing room before taking the money.
A security guard voiced suspicion that a fellow guard facilitated the break-in by unlocking the gate for the intruders.
Detectives tracked down the suspects via surveillance video and subsequently took the four officers into custody.
This event represents the fourth residential theft directed at Chinese citizens inside Islamabad starting from August 29. Impostors masquerading as authorities carried out three of these episodes, while probes into two events pointed to active-duty Islamabad law enforcement staff as culprits.
During the previous month, authorities discovered three active Islamabad police officers participating in a theft ring that worked alongside other partners.
The probe into a September 13 burglary within G-10/4 revealed their participation, where armed individuals wearing police uniforms targeted the residence of two Chinese citizens and took Rs. 8 million.
