Theft gang, including two Iranians, arrested

The Director-General of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Science announced yesterday the arrest of a five-member theft gang, including two Iranians.

They are accused of stealing jewellery, expensive watches and mobile phones from homes. They have stolen items worth more than BD50,000, according to the director-general. He said that three of the suspects acted like bicycling enthusiasts to spot their targeted homes, especially big villas, while the other two broke into these houses and the three waited for them outside to alert them.
