Sharjah thefts dip
The intensified efforts of Sharjah Police during Ramadan has led to a significant dip in thefts of shoes and valuables from cars during the Tahajjud and Taraweeh prayers at mosques, officials said.
Installation of closed-circuit TV (CCTV) cameras, intensified police patrols, and deployment of undercover agents have contributed to an appreciable dip in thefts at mosques. “Most of the thefts used to occur at crowded places,” an official said.
An official from Sharjah Police’s patrol department said they have intensified patrols during Ramadan and for the Eid holidays to prevent these incidents and ensure Covid safety measures are followed.
“We’ve intensified patrols during Taraweeh, Tahjjud prayers and Eid around mosques to prevent the theft of shoes and other valuables from cars at parking lots. We’re also coordinating with Sharjah Municipality authorities to improve lighting in public parking areas around mosques and markets,” he said.
