OREANDA-NEWS. August 06, 2010. Employees of Private Security Company “Rus” and criminal investigation officers from the Nizhnevartovsk region arrested six people who attempted to haul road slabs off one of TNK-BP integrated gathering facilities, reported the press-centre of TNK-BP.

The plotters arrived at an abandoned section of the road well in advance in KamAz and MAZ trucks.  They used a truck-mounted crane to remove slabs from the road bed and loaded them in the trucks. The Private Security Company’s employees caught them red-handed and took them to the nearest police department.

One slab is estimated at RUR 5—10 thousand. Chances are high that the arrested will be sentenced to a couple of years.
