Detectives are looking for two thugs who were captured on Saturday night on CCTV, vandalizing Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) transformers.
The two armed with spanners were vandalizing a key power supply unit in Makindu, when a signal was received by detectives manning the SGR system remotely.
According to DCI, contingent of officers based at Makindu and Emali police stations was dispatched to arrest the thugs, who immediately dashed to nearby thickets on noticing the beaming lights of a fast approaching police land cruiser.
“Unbeknownst to the thugs, the transformers fitted with a round-the-clock surveillance system had already sent their images to our command centre.” DCI said
Currently detectives have profiled the suspects to suffer the consequences of their actions.
The railway is a critical national infrastructure under 24/7 surveillance. Vandalizing or tampering its property attracts charges related to Economic Sabotage and Terrorism.
