A third robbery reported from a luxury resort has sparked concern with the main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party accusing the government of failing to ensure safety and security of tourists.
A group of masked people raided Baa Atoll Reethi Beach Resort in the early morning of Friday and stole two safes. They had tied up an employee on duty at the reception.
The Reethi Beach robbery is the second reported over the past month, and the third high-profile robbery from a resort since 2014.
Last month, a group of seven masked men raided Gasfinolhu, a resort operated by Club Med. Four safes were stolen from the island. A 19-year-old man was arrested.
