The theft came to light after the power outage on September 24, the day after the floods occurred last month. When they learned that some electrical batteries had been stolen from the seventh floor of the Smart City office, the senior officials investigated and scanned CCTV footage. The footage showed the involvement of the five, who used to keep the batteries in the garbage bin before disposing of them.
