In a report shared by the Khaleej Times, the 50-year-old Asian victim informed that he had been robbed by the gang after he withdrew cash from a bank in Nad Al Hamr.

The police launched an investigation and reviewed the cameras at the scene of the crime. They arrested several people and the victim managed to recognize the accused in a line-up.
