It is alleged that a theft occurred at the stadium of the Shamkir Olympic Complex.
Idman.Biz reports, citing sportinfo.az, that a large amount of electrical cables were stolen from the arena.
According to reports, the incident that happened at night made the lighting system of the venue where "Shamkir" holds its home games unusable. Because the cables of the projectors installed in the stadium were also removed from there.
It was noted that although the football players were in the cottages on the territory of the complex when the robbers were "working", no one saw their faces. Since the lights in the area went out shortly before the incident, the players did not leave their places.
