           before making their escape. The police investigation is still ongoing at this time.

           Lessons Learnt:
               •  The thieves parked in front of the site gates and produced fake ID cards with the
                  Principal Contractor logo and their photos. They requested access to the site and
                  explained they needed to do urgent work on the pipe work.
