In a bizarre case of robbery, police in Punjab’s Layyah arrested a suspect for allegedly stealing clothes from a tailor’s shop.

The police said the suspect was observing Itikaf at a local mosque when he was taken into custody, Geo News reported on Tuesday.

They added that the suspect along with his accomplice stole suits from the tailor’s shop in Moti Bazar of the city.

At least 12 suits stolen from the shop were also recovered from the suspect, the law enforcers added.

In a similar incident last year, robbers stole 70 sacrificial animals ahead of Eid ul Adha in Karachi.

The stolen animals include mostly cows and goats, which are apparently relatively easier to steal, than camels.

The viral video of the incident circulating on social media shocked everyone as it showed unidentified man in Karachi stealing a cow within seconds.

The theft of the sacrificial cow in Federal B Area’s Ancholi Society was caught on CCTV camera on June 26. The footage shows a man getting out of an expensive car in the street.
