Burglary at supermarket on Old Airport Street
A burglary has been reported from a prominent supermarket, located on the southern side of the Old Airport.
According to Gulf Times, sources told that a huge amount was reportedly stolen from the Shoprite supermarket's locker, which is broken into using a sharp-edged weapon.
The incident may have taken place in the wee hours of Tuesday.
The shop had closed at 11.30 pm on Monday. The images of the thieves were reportedly caught on the CCTV cameras of the establishment.
The theft came to the notice of the supermarket staff when they resumed operations on Tuesday.
The supermarket is located at a corner of the road which wears a deserted look in the evening, and more so after road works started recently in the area.
Shoprite remained closed in the forenoon Tuesday and police are investigating.
As Qatar is a considerably safer country than many, cases of theft, robbery and burglary are quite rare. Both citizens and residents of the country have a clear understanding of its laws and rules that they try not to get on its wrong side.
However, quite a few cases of theft and robbery have been reported by authorities in the past couple of months.
For instance, the case of the four women who were arrested for breaking into apartments and stealing gold jewellery was reported by the Ministry of Interior.
The ministry further stated that due investigations have been taking place after which the suspects will be forwarded to appropriate authorities.
Similarly, last year’s highway robbery where two men were imprisoned for robbing a person of cash at gunpoint at the Zubarah highway too shocked many.
While the country repeatedly claims itself being safe, nobody could deny the rise in crime over the past few years.
stay cautious - one suspect may leads to the whole gang
May be it can be random theft but still thefts are happening and majorly in Matar Qadeem only. This area is full of several shops of grocery having young home delivery boys without proper labor cards. Anything big also may happen sometime.
Hose pipes were fitted into the water tanks at the the rooftop.
Few months back one dish antena was also stolen from our building rooftop.
before reading in detail - i read Happiness instead of Hosepipes :p
Well, Sum Ting Wong!!
Why are you scared ? It's only random thefts
2-3 weeks back only somebody stole hosepipes of 8 flats in Matar Qadeem from the roof top.
I think it is due to all these shop to home delivery boys who are in jest of making money. They come on visit visa and do such things without fear.They deliver and check which house or building is closed or unattended at what time.
One week back I noticed one such home delivery boy sitting in stairs in my apartment 2-3 times and when I questioned him he said he is taking rest.After that we come to know the hose pipes are stolen.
Building manager replaced the pipes so nobody complained.But yes now we are scared.
