ISLAMABAD – At least seven individuals, including a woman, reportedly broke into the Capital Development Authority (CDA) Dog Center in Tralai, Islamabad, and made off with 60 dogs.
The daring move was reported by a security guard, prompting Islamabad police to lodge a case under charges of theft and interference with government operations. Authorities revealed that the suspects arrived in three vehicles, stormed the shed housing the dogs, and damaged the property during the operation.
To everyone’s surprise, the Islamabad Magistrate was present at the site when the incident unfolded, yet the theft proceeded without interruption.
Cops vowed to take strict legal action to ensure the perpetrators face full consequences for their actions. The incident has ignited widespread concern over the security of animal shelters.
