On Saturday night, the neighborhood of Al-Kharba in Tangier was transformed into a scene of terror after a veiled woman broke into the home of an elderly couple and stole a sum of money estimated at 1.1 million dirhams before disappearing under mysterious circumstances.
Local sources reported that the suspect knocked on the couple’s door, claiming to be an acquaintance of the homeowner, which prompted the latter to welcome her. Quickly, the perpetrator took advantage of the victims’ trust to steal the cash hidden in one of the rooms, then left the scene quietly, leaving the residents in shock.
The incident triggered a widespread security alert, as forensic police from the Tangier Security Directorate rushed to the location to collect fingerprints and review surveillance camera footage in an effort to identify and apprehend the criminal as soon as possible.
Residents of the neighborhood expressed their growing concern over the recurrence of burglary incidents, calling for increased police patrols and stricter monitoring to protect their property and personal safety.
