Car Thieves Using Women as Baits
Car thieves seem to be using women to lure their targets into the robbery trap in Lebanon.
That was the case of Mohammed Wafik al-Safawi who was in Beirut”s Badaro district around midnight Monday when two women stopped him and asked for a ride to the Amrousiyeh area.
When the driver reached the destination, two armed men assaulted him and forced him out of his Range Rover after threatening to kill him and hitting him on the head.
Al-Safawi later regained consciousness and called police to inform them about the assault and the theft of his vehicle.
Two police patrols chased the thieves and were able to stop them at daybreak in Shwaifat.
