“They started looting hair salons in order to get more money,” they said and added that suspects shared that it was easy for them to not only snatch money from cash counters but also deprive customers at the salons of their belongings.
Robberies at hair salons have been reported previously and in one such incident recently, a passer-by was shot dead while a policeman sustained injuries after the latter resisted a robbery bid at a barber’s shop in Karachi’s Federal B Area neighbourhood.
