In Osh, a man suspected of a series of thefts of equipment from electrical substations has been detained.

According to information provided by the press service of the Internal Affairs Department of the city of Osh, the police have solved a number of thefts committed at energy facilities. The suspect has been detained and has already confessed to his actions.

Previously, representatives of the electrical networks approached the Ak-Buura City Police Department with a report of thefts. The case materials indicate that on February 27, 2026, between 11:00 and 12:00, an unidentified person broke into the door of the transformer substation TP-214, located on I. Razakova Street, and stole 12 fuses rated at 400A.

On the same day, a similar crime occurred at the TP-3 substation on U. Salieva Street, where 9 fuses of the PN-2 brand, also rated at 400A, were stolen.

On March 14, as a result of operational-search activities, the police identified and detained the suspect. He turned out to be a 28-year-old citizen U.N. from the city of Sulukta in the Batken region.

During the interrogation, the detainee confessed that the thefts were committed with the intention of subsequently selling the stolen parts at scrap metal collection points. During a search, a bag containing the stolen components, which he had not yet managed to sell, was found with him.

It was revealed that the detainee had a prior conviction for robbery. Currently, a criminal case has been initiated regarding this matter, and the suspect has been placed in a temporary detention facility. Investigative actions are ongoing.
