Robbers follow, loot family just back from US in Karachi’s Buffer Zone

A family that had just returned from the United States (US) was robbed outside their home in Karachi’s Buffer Zone.

According to police, the robbers were travelling in a white car having police lights and followed the family’s vehicle from the airport to Buffer Zone Block 15 to avoid suspicion.

CCTV footage of the incident showed one of the armed men stepping out of the car, snatching a handbag from a woman. He then fled the scene with his accomplices.

Police officials said that the stolen bag contained foreign currency. A case has been registered at the relevant police station, and investigators are using the CCTV footage to identify and trace the suspects.

This incident follows another daylight robbery in Karachi’s Korangi district, where four armed men on two motorcycles looted a family outside their home in the Saudabad area.

CCTV footage showed the robbers following the couple as they arrived on a motorcycle.

As soon as they dismounted, the suspects held them at gunpoint, taking the man’s mobile phone and other valuables. One of the assailants also snatched gold bangles and a ring from the woman before fleeing the scene.
