Robbery turns out to be staged
A reported robbery incident turned out to be fake and a staged drama in the Napier area. The police arrested two suspects, identified as Shahid and Hasnain, and an amount of Rs110,000 was recovered from their possession.
Police received a call on January 25, and the caller reported that two suspects had robbed Rs180,000 at gunpoint and fled.
However, upon investigation, the police found inconsistencies in the statements of the callers who reported the robbery, raising suspicions. As the interrogation progressed, both callers confessed to staging the theft and admitted to making a false call.
