As Eidul Azha approaches, goat thieves have become active in Rawalpindi.
A resident's quick thinking and timely call to police emergency service 15 led to the arrest of three thieves and the recovery of three goats worth over Rs0.27 million.
The incident occurred in Kohistan Colony where Nauman Naseer reported that three of his goats, tethered outside his home, were being loaded into two cars by four individuals.
He chased them and informed the police, who set up checkpoints and stopped the vehicles near PAF Chowk.
One suspect, later identified as Saifur Rehman Satti, managed to escape, while Sarfraz Khan, Amjad Mehmood, and Abdul Hanif were arrested on the spot.
The stolen goats were recovered, and the owner positively identified the suspects.
Police also recovered Rs30,000 in cash and two vehicles used in the thefts.
According to an official spokesperson, the suspects confessed to multiple thefts.
SP Rawal Division Raja Haseeb stated that all facilitators, including the absconding suspect, will be apprehended soon and presented in court with solid evidence.
