Unmasked burglars to face court in Kratie

Four men were arrested in Kratie town on Monday after allegedly breaking into a phone shop equipped with a surveillance camera the owner had installed for just that purpose.

The shop owner submitted a complaint to the police after he found his business wrecked, with 10 phones and a laptop missing.

As the suspects hadn’t covered their faces, authorities were able to ascertain their identities from the footage and subsequently apprehended them in their homes where they recovered the phones.

The quartet has been sent to court.
