Robbers face can be seen clearly in photo
With rising incidents of robbery and street crime in Karachi, CCTV footage capturing robberies has been circulating on social media, aiming to identify and apprehend the culprits. While this approach has seen some success, Karachi Police have issued a warning regarding a specific post.
A photo from a recent robbery incident included an address supposedly linked to the robbers. Upon investigation, Korangi Police confirmed the address to be entirely false. Their official social media account clarified that the information circulating online held no truth.
“Korangi Police reached the written address and checked, but no such accused was found,” the statement read. It further emphasized Karachi Police’s commitment to tackling street crime, highlighting their ongoing efforts to identify and apprehend criminals.
Importance of Verified Information
The spokesperson for SSP Korangi urged citizens to refrain from sharing unverified information. Spreading false details not only hinders investigations but can also potentially endanger innocent individuals.
Spreading Awareness, Not Panic
While social media can be a powerful tool for raising awareness about crime, it’s crucial to ensure the information is accurate. Sharing genuine CCTV footage can be helpful, but citizens should avoid adding unconfirmed details like addresses.
Karachi Police Take Action
Karachi Police remain committed to ensuring public safety. They encourage citizens to report crimes through official channels and to refrain from spreading misinformation online.
By working together, Karachi can create a safer environment for all.
