Security organs and police forces arrested 14 suspects for allegedly smuggling fuel in Wau, Western Bahr El Ghazal State.
Acting Police Commissioner Deng Malwal Mabur told journalists on Saturday that security night patrols seized three vehicles carrying 450 jerry canes of fuel.
He said the culprits were believed to be business people purchasing massive fuel store it to create scarcity in the market in order to sell at high prices.
Mr Malwal explained that security organs were monitoring the suspects for several times at Aweil Jadid residential area in Wau carrying fuel in bulk during night hours to unknown destination.
Mr Malwal said the suspects will face the law and that the state security will continue cracking down such smugglers.
