Sujawal police arrest suspects involved in snatching from foreign couple

The local police have arrested two suspects involved in the theft of mobile phones from a foreign tourist couple in Sujawal.

The incident occurred five days ago when the couple was held at gunpoint.

According to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), both mobile phones were successfully recovered from the arrested individuals.

However, one suspect remains at large, and police are actively conducting raids to capture him.

The incident occurred near the Sujawal-Badin bypass while the couple was visiting the Amli graveyard and traveling towards Hyderabad when they were mugged.

The victims, Kowalczyk Jakuo Tomasz and his spouse, Scantamburlo Mae Elisabeth, were on a world tour and had visited 10 countries over the past seven months before arriving in Pakistan.

The couple were guests of the provincial archaeology department and stayed at the Archaeology Guest House the night before the incident. 

As part of their journey through countries such as France, Italy, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Russia, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran, they were heading toward India.

During their visit to Thatta, the tourists praised Pakistan’s hospitality and expressed fascination with Sindh’s rich cultural heritage.

However, this incident raises serious concerns about the safety of tourists in Pakistan.
