AL AMERAT: The Royal Oman Police (ROP) have arrested two individuals accused of stealing from multiple shops in Al Amerat. Authorities launched an investigation after several shop owners reported incidents of theft, including missing cash and valuable goods. Surveillance footage and witness statements helped police identify the suspects, leading to their swift arrest. Both individuals were found in possession of stolen items, which were seized as evidence in the ongoing investigation.

The cooperation of the community has played a significant role in tracking down the perpetrators and ensuring justice.
The arrested individuals are currently facing legal proceedings, with charges of theft and property damage being filed against them.
