A Fake Police Officer and a Thief Arrested in Plasco Building Collapse Site

Amid firefighters and rescue workers’ ongoing attempts to find the bodies of those entrapped under the rubble of collapsed Plasco Building in central Tehran, the Police arrested a number of crooks who were trying to abuse the chaotic situation.

A person has been reportedly arrested after trespassing on the building collapse site while wearing the police uniform, Tasnim said in a Farsi report.

Another report by ILNA indicated that the police has also arrested a thief who was trying to abuse the situation and rob the place.

A truck carrying the debris was also trying to transfer them to a place different from what the Police had told the driver, but it was finally forced to unload them where it was supposed to.

The 17-storey Plasco Building in downtown Tehran collapsed on Thursday after a huge blaze. At least 25, mostly firefighters, are feared dead following the tragic incident.
