Robbers using innovative ways to enter homes

Pursue student returning from school, enter house with him

KARACHI:

Robbers and muggers have started using innovative ways to make it even difficult for police to control the rising street crimes in the city.

It has come to light that muggers pursue students returning home from school and as soon as the family opens the door, muggers enter their homes using the students as a shield to commit robberies.

One such incident recently took place in Buffer Zone.

A student returned home from school.

As soon as the family opened the gate to let him in, two armed muggers who were pursuing him also forced their way inside using the child as a shield.

They took the family hostage at gunpoint, looted the valuables and escaped easily.

The CCTV footage of the incident went viral on social media.

However, Rashid Lodhi, SHO Taimuriya police station, said he was not aware of any such incident within his jurisdiction.
