KARACHI: Clifton police on Thursday claimed to have arrested a couple accused of stealing accessories from parked cars mainly in district South to meet expenses for their “drug addiction”.
Clifton SP Suhai Aziz said the arrested couple, Saeeda and Shoaib, married a couple of years ago, had a 17-month-old daughter, who lived with her maternal grandparents.
“Belonging to a good family, both are educated,” she told a press conference. “Before falling victim to drug dealers, they were managing a good life. We are trying to trace history of their addiction, but so far we know that they somehow started using drugs and soon became addicted. The curse left them socially isolated and sooner they started losing all their financial means.”
When the situation deteriorated, they handed over their daughter to her maternal grandparents, she said. The landlord expelled them from their rented apartment in Clifton over non-payments of dues and they were forced to live on the streets, added the SP.
“For a few months, they started stealing accessories from the parked cars like side glasses, music systems and other stuff. They were identified through CCTV footages and finally a successful operation led to their arrest,” she added.
