Daring: Cops clueless about stolen police car

ISLAMABAD:

It seems that even the police are not safe from the capital’s car thieves.

On Wednesday morning, the official car of Crime Investigation Department (CID) Superintendent of Police (SP) Zubair Ahmed Sheikh was stolen from an Islamabad market, according to sources.

The car, identified by the police only as a Honda, was stolen from the G-9 Markaz, where it was parked at the time of the incident, they said.

Margalla Police registered a case the day it was stolen. But on Thursday, police officers at the station said they had not made any headway in finding the car thieves or recovering the car.

The car is believed to have had two police wireless sets inside at the time it was stolen, according to sources. But the Margalla police denied that the wireless sets had gone missing along with the car.

On Wednesday, the day the car was stolen, the police had separately announced that they had busted three members of a gang of car thieves in Sector F-8.
