Armed thieves have looted more than 1.15 million rupees from the people of the Peoples bus service in Gulshan-E-Hadeed in Karachi, holding them under the threat of a weapon in an end-of-evening attack.
According to driver Sher Jan, the flight took place at the last stop of the bus service, where he and other employees rested. Six attackers arrived in a vehicle, with two staying inside while four entered the premises. One of them wore a mask.
The armed men forced the crew inside a bus, where the cashier and a transport agent were seated. “They held us under the threat of a weapon and asked for money,” Sher Jan told the police, adding that thieves also seized the weapon and mobile phone of a security guard before fleeing.
The suspects have escaped with 11.5 million rupees in cash, raising serious concerns concerning security in public transport centers.
Malir’s principal Superintendent of the Police (SSP) confirmed that an investigation was underway. “We have gathered evidence on the scene and a case was recorded. The suspects will soon be found, “he said.
The incident has stimulated the alarm among transport workers, which now call for more strict safety measurements for bus terminals, especially during the last hours.
Last week, armed thieves struck in the Landhi region of Karachi, targeting citizens buying milk for Sehri.
According to Express News, video surveillance images have captured thieves using weapons to loot mobile phones, species and other valuables.
The incident occurred in milk milk in the Landhi No. 2 model park, with three armed thieves with assault on the store and flying customers. The thieves, who seemed to have planned the attack, were seen on the camera by raising customers and taking their property.
Despite the presence of several people at the store, the thieves managed to escape without facing any resistance.
The video surveillance images, which have now become viral, clearly show thieves taking their time while looting citizens, then calmly moving after the crime. The police responded quickly to the flight report and arrived on the scene shortly after.
With the help of video surveillance images, the police managed to have a clear view of the faces of thieves, and surveys are underway to find the criminals. The authorities contacted the victims, who are invited to visit the police station to file official complaints.
