Street Crime has become a common issue these days especially in Karachi and almost everywhere the youth is targeted in these crimes. The most common target these days is to snatch cellphones and other valuable and precious things like cash, ATM cards etc.
These robbers come well-armed and well prepared both physically and psychologically to commit crimes. These people overpower the victim by fear and weapons. Youngsters these days are very much in fear about whether to carry a mobile phone or cash while travelling even if it is daytime.
Every day, stories of these street crimes appear in the news headlines or newspapers, but do we have any solution of this big issue or not?
I request the authorities responsible for security in the city to keep a watch for these culprits that a danger to the youth and as well as other citizens of the city. I believe that Pakistan Rangers can play a major role in terminating these street crimes.
