Authorities busted a major gas theft set-up in Pattoki after finding a 25,000 feet long pipeline diverting the supply from the main line.

The culprits had made a connection to the main supply line and were supplying an entire neighborhood through a network of connections.

Sui Gas officials found the 1.5-inch diameter pipeline supplying the area and dug it out of the ground completely.

A Sui Gas spokesperson said that that a complaint for registration of a case has been filed against the culprits.
