Aqai Ansari, the head of the Security Office, Bushire,
has been suspended from duty. It is reported that he was
found to have been helping thieves and would not return
stolen articles to their owners. A new man named Ahmadipur
has come from Yezd to relieve Ansari. This man was sent
from Bushire to Yezd about 5 years ago for his corruption.
II. SECURITY FOSITION.
A caravan coming frora Tang-i-Ram which is about 58
miles northeast of Bushire inland was attacked by robbers
consisting of Qashqai Turks and the people of Deh Rud,
57 miles east of Bushire inland, and were robbed of carpets,
ghee, and sheep. Ten of the robbers were armed and the
rest had cudgels. The Arnnieh authorities and the Officer
in charge of the Borazjun garrison sent a few men to pursue
the robbers; but they did the work half heartedly and the
robbers made good their escape.
Another gang of robbers plundered a small caravan
carrying dates for Shabankareh; when pursued by Amnieh
guards from Borazjun, they were helped by the people of
Shabankareh to escape arrest. The headman of village
Jetoo, in Shabankareh district, arrested two other robbers
and handed them over to the Amnieh authorities, as being
those who robbed the caravan.
In these two cases property assessed at Rials 20,000
was stolen.
A third party of villagers of Giskan, the mountain
east of Borazjun, were robbed of sheep, ghee and carpets
to the value of about 8,000 Rials. The military and
Amnieh authorities did nothing to restore their property.
