However, someone actually started the idea of a fire hydrant. The Xincheng police station arrested a criminal gang that stole fire hydrants.
Recently, the firefighters of the Yanghe Fire Rescue Station found that more than 20 fire hydrants that had just been maintained on Yanghe Avenue were "collectively missing", and the value involved was more than 30,000 yuan, and they immediately called the police. After investigation, the police found the whereabouts of the thief near Yanghe Avenue, and through monitoring, it can be seen that the criminal gang is a male and female cooperation case, they drive the SUV car to the sparsely populated section of the road, and then steal the anti-plug.
"The man is responsible for taking a wrench to pry and remove the fire hydrant, and the woman is responsible for releasing the wind after arriving at the scene, and disassembling the fire hydrant after going down to the sewer to close the water valve." Wu Libin, a police officer at the Xincheng police station, said.
In the end, the police used technical means to lock the whereabouts of the suspects, and on January 4, the suspects Wang mou and Li mou were arrested in the rental house near the Keelung Development Zone, and they were husband and wife.
After interrogation by the police, the suspect confessed that they had stolen a total of 31 fire hydrants near Yanghe Avenue and Haijixing Market, and after winning, they sold the fire hydrants to a waste recycling station.

According to the clues provided by the suspect, the police controlled the boss Li in the waste recycling station near Guangya, and found the copper rings, water outlet covers and other accessories of 20 fire hydrants in the waste, but because Li broke down the fire hydrant after buying the fire hydrant, the parts on the fire hydrant were split, the accessories have been destroyed, can not be used normally, and the fire main body has also been sold again.

"The theft or lack of water from the fire hydrant has a very big impact on fire fighting, the first of which is the lack of water." Wu Huiwu, director of the Fire Fighting and Rescue Command Department of the Municipal Fire Rescue Detachment, said that if the firefighters rush to the scene without water, the fire extinguishing and saving people at the scene will have a considerable impact.
