Over the past week, two cases of robbery were reported to the Lohi Beer Police Station and two robberies took place in the limits of Ramna Police Station.

Koral and Kohsar Police stations registered one case each of car lifting. One case each of robbery was reported to Bhara Khau and Women's Police stations.
Police source said that police had not been able to trace culprits behind the cases registered so far, giving credence to the notion that police lacked the capacity to investigate and control street crimes in the city. He said that police had also not been able to arrest accused nominated in several cases and they were still at large. He said that the car thieves were also active in the city and they were so "skilled" that they could "jam" the car's tracking system.
