Armed robbery at aquarium
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 24 - 05 - 2016

An aquarium was robbed by a gang of armed men on Sunday. Aquarium employees told police they were ambushed by a gang of armed thieves who concealed their identity by masking their faces. The men barged into the administrative building and ordered the people inside to show them the financial office and stay where they were. The staff opened the safe for the gang after they began firing their weapons in air. The gang made off with the safe's contents, but employees were able to capture a picture of the car's license plate. The police arrived at the scene after the gang escaped and began scanning the area for evidence and recording the employees' testimonies. The gang stole a total of SR20,000 from the safe and are still on the loose. The whole activity was captured on CCTV cameras.
