A huge heist that occurred by chance! 300 thousand liters of oil were stolen from the pipeline

The oil theft, discovered in the countryside of Thessaloniki, Greece, attracted attention with its size. A former soldier was sentenced to five years in prison in the case of the theft of approximately 300 thousand liters of oil from the army pipeline. While four more people were found guilty in connection with the incident, it was stated that two of them instigated the theft.

According to the information discussed in court, the theft was committed by taking advantage of the security system of the period. It was determined that the former soldier, who was working as a guard in the area at the time, allowed civilians to enter the area and steal oil from the pipeline.

Thus, it was revealed that a large amount of fuel was taken illegally from the army line. While a total of five people were found guilty in connection with the incident, the court sentenced the former soldier to five years in prison.

The activities of the oil theft network were exposed thanks to an unexpected event. After a vehicle fell into the canal, police teams examined the vehicle. The discovery of tools determined to be used in fuel theft in the vehicle changed the course of the investigation.

Investigations carried out on this coincidental development revealed large-scale theft from the military pipeline.

The former soldier who was tried in the case left the courtroom before the verdict was announced after making his defense in court. It was reported that the former soldier, who was sentenced to five years in prison, was on the run.

It was stated that security forces are continuing their search for the former soldier to capture him.
