Family gang of burglars to stand trial
A Bahraini man allegedly recruited his close relatives, including his sister, to form a family gang to burgle jewelry from several homes in the Capital Governorate, the court heard. This came to light after several burglaries, having similar patterns, were reported to Nabeeh Saleh Police Station in a small space of time.
The gang allegedly stole gold worth over BD50,000 from a number of houses from areas in and around Zinj, according to prosecutors. Additionally, an Indian expat lodged a complaint at the same police station, informing that he was stopped and mugged by two masked men in Zinj.
The man told the police that the muggers held a knife to his neck before they robbed BD250, bank cards and a watch worth BD200 from him. Police intensified its investigations, which led to the first defendant, who was the mastermind behind the robberies and has a criminal record of theft and drug abuse.
