Residents of the Poltava and Chernihiv regions "crashed" into the pipeline and collected oil by the drip method, which actually does not record the drop in pressure. After each theft, they even removed the soil from the crime scene.
The perpetrators also laid an underground diversion from the damaged pipeline about 5 kilometers long. At one time, they stole up to 12 cubic meters of oil. Then it was sold to oil depots and various commercial structures. In this way, the participants "earned" more than half a million hryvnias.
