Al Busal: Petrol Pumpers Proceed to Prison

A whirlwind of audacious petrol theft has been sweeping the country following the recent sharp increase in gas prices. Hundreds of locals and expats have filed complaints citing evidence that gas from their cars has been mysteriously going missing. The victims explained that they would wake up to discover their cars had been tampered with overnight and emptied by an unknown forces.

The authorities have assured citizens that they are hot on the trail of several petrol-pumping gangs that have reared their ugly heads. The gangs would roam around in the cover of night, violently assaulting innocent private cars for the precious petrol contained within. They would then remove the gas using high tech equipment such as specialty hoses and their trained mouths to quickly pump the petrol out into an unmarked red gallon container and transport it to secretlocations in Hasawi. The hidden places are identified only by huge signs labeled “small costs petrol apailable” or “cheap gas, same same old price”.

Immediately a special operations undercover task force was assembled to address the alarming issue. A leading gang, nicknamed the “Bawagene Al Benzene” has already been dismantled thanks to the forces’ efforts. A lone agent assumed the identity of a down-on-his-luck sailor looking for cheap petrol to power his fishing boat. He then bravely infiltrated the heavily guarded top secret location in Hasawi by bribing the haris boy 3KD to enter the warehouse where the petrol was stored. A violent showdown ensued and the criminals tried to flee but were thwarted by backup when their getaway vehicle stopped on the side of the 6th ring road after it ran out of gas.

The top ranked gang leaders were identified as H.S, 28, a Syrian national and his partner in crime A.B, 34, who is a local, while a third suspect was also fingered. The team of 3 operated out of a garage in shuwaikh industrial area and hired local thugs to steal and transport the goods to Jleeb for storage. The 2 arrested have been referred to the concerned authorities for further action but the third suspect’s whereabouts remain unknown.

A statement was issued that this incident must serve as a warning to all evil doers trying to hurt the local economy using what they dubbed as the highly illegal “Robin Hood” scheme. The task force has also turned its sights to target massive international gas- smuggling rings. The ruthless rings operate by exporting cheap gas into the country via thousands of unmarked red gallon containers that do not cause suspicion at all. The forbidden petrol is then distributed to corrupt local delivery companies in need of cheap gas to illegally fuel their pizza and hamburger delivery vehicles.

Finally, a strong warning was issued that anyone seen brandishing a red a gallon, will be apprehended immediately and possibly questioned later if time permits.

“strong warning was issued that anyone seen brandishing a red a gallon, will be apprehended immediately and possibly questioned later if time permits” got me think if i have one in my trunk.. 😂

The writing is 100% Arab Times style. A combination of horrific 70’s British Indian English with a dash of 3arabi.

Suspect got fingered 🙂

I really want to know what you guys mean by “Arab Times Style” ._.” Can you refer to some examples if possible?

And boy the post was pretty funny and I had good laughs out of it. Keep up the good work Mr.Holla.

ARAB TIMES local report:

“BLIND CAMEL TACKLED: A blind camel was seen wandering on the main road leading to Sulaibiya farms…
When the Operations Room of Ministry of Interior received information about the blind camel, security men rushed to the location, controlled the camel and returned it to its owner.”

That is the best compliment I can ever have for these so called “professional articles” lmao! Thanks so much, it’s exactly what I was going for 🙂

You had me till “specialty hoses” and “trained mouths” after that I couldn’t read any more owing to the fact that I couldn’t see through the tears in my eyes from laughing so hard 🙂

using high tech equipment such as specialty hoses and their trained mouths to quickly pump the petrol out

LOL!! Where did they get the training for their mouths?

Love, love, love the alliteration in the title!! I felt like I was reading an article from The Onion. Looking forward to future Holla compositions. 👍👍

labeled “small costs petrol apailable” … “Apailable”? That cracked me up!
anyone seen brandishing a red a gallon… A red A Gallon? Is that Google Translate?

Those that don’t find the satire humorous in this post only confirm the lack of creative openness in this forsaken fossil-fuel desert. Subscribe to the New Yorker. Get a life.
