Incidents of ‘spitting and robbing’ cases go up in Doha
Traditionally, Qatar has been a relatively safe place to stay in. However, as the country grows, there has also been an increase in the number of crimes.
A new style of robbery is currently being reported from various parts of the country and it involves a person spitting at another, reported Gulf Times.
According to victims, the criminals’ modus operandi is simple. They spit at you, and then apologize profusely, all the while attempting to politely wipe their spittle off your dress. In the commotion, they expertly pick your pocket.
Such an incident occurred near the Souq Waqif, where an Asian expatriate was robbed of QR7,500.
An attempt was made to rob an Indian man in the Al Hilal area, but his alert nature and proximity of other travellers prevented the robbery from taking place.
Earlier, a man had been robed of a hefty sum of QR22,500.
Please be careful of such fraudulent characters and be alert at all times.

Mufti, Thanks for your understanding, robbing is still more prestigious than spitting if you compare ........ ..............

"We are not designed to carry more than 3000 Rials on our body......"
Didn't realise that our bodies had maximum loads for money .... No wonder Rizks never has any money to pay for drinks :O(
It is our problem, Why do you carry so much cash on your body. ? We are not designed to carry more than 3000 Rials on our body, above this you are at risk ........ .............. If somebody spits at you just forgive him ......... ......... you will not loose anything if you carry 3000 in your front shirt / secret pocket ..... ..... Keep your wallet / purse empty ........ or some tissue papers only .........
We must take care .... never keep money and credit cards in the same wallet ..........................
An Asian expat was robbed - Any inkling as to where the criminal came from ?.
