A gang of three Pakistani suspects who specialises in stealing electronic items from shops have been arrested by Sharjah Police.

Investigating officials said when they followed up on complaints received from shopowners they discovered that the modus operandi used in all robberies were identical.

All the shops were broken into after midnight. And the outlets targetted were located in industrial areas in Sharjah.

So as a first step, cops intensified vigilence on Sharjah streets after dusk. One night cops found three men get off a taxi in Al Ghuwair area and suspiciously moving towards an electronic shop with a big black bag. The cops closely monitored them and nabbed them as they were about to break in.

Initially the trio denied any misdoings. However, after their arrest they confessed to stealing from various shops in that area. Later cops raided their residence and confiscated several stolen cables as well as tools used to break into shops.
