Gang muggings net large haul
02 Dec 2009, 2:50 PM
Last week a man was stabbed and robbed of Rf400,000 (over US$30,000) by a gang who attacked him at the Gadiburu roundabout near Orchid Magu in central Male’.
The previous month a pair of men were attacked with iron rods by a gang who then stole a bag containing Rf762,700 (US$60,000).
Four men were arrested by police in relation to that incident, including an underage boy, although the perpetrators of the latest assault are yet to be found.
Police Sergeant Ahmed Shiyam said store owners carrying large amounts of cash at night following the close of business were particularly at risk.
