OMR14,700 stolen from a car parked in CBD locality
Times News Service MUSCAT: In a daring theft in broad daylight, criminals broke open the window of a car and took away OMR14,700 from the parked vehicle in CBD area of Ruwi last week.
The incident happened when the owner of the vehicle had parked his vehicle in front of a bank and gone inside to withdraw money. “After withdrawing OMR14,700 from one bank, I had kept the money in the boot of the car. Then I realised, I needed more money, so I went to another bank to withdraw the money,” the victim, K Ahmed, said.
He told the authorities that he was into construction, trading, earth works, hotel, and restaurants businesses in Oman for the past 30 years. “Within 20 minutes, I returned to the car after withdrawing OMR1,000, when I discovered that someone had broken the rear window and opened the boot of the car, and fled with the envelope containing the cash,” Ahmed said. He lodged a complaint with the ROP, who are now searching for the criminals.
