With street crime witnessing a surge in various parts of the city in recent months, District Korangi police has established a dedicated squad to counter the rising incidents of street crime in the district.
Incidents of snatching of mobile phones, cash, jewellery and vehicles have always been a burning issue in the city. Not only residents of posh localities have suffered from street criminals but middle-class localities such as those included in District Korangi have also witnessed rampant incidents of mugging.
The decision to form a separate squad to deal with street crime came after District Korangi police reported hundreds of cases of mugging within the first eight months of the ongoing year. People lodged complaints against snatching of mobile phones, wallets, cash and other valuables on a daily basis.
Apart from residential areas, District Korangi is home to one of the largest industrial zones of Karachi where industrialists, traders and workers are being targeted by robbers almost every day.
To deal with rampant incidents of mugging, the District Korangi police has come up with a specialized squad, named the anti-street crime force
