BEIRUT:
A gang which included three women was arrested in north Lebanon over the
weekend for robbing taxi drivers and stealing their vehicles, according to a
statement released by the Lebanese Army.
The
gang, which also included the husband of one of the women, would board a taxi,
ask the diver to transport them to either the northern areas, the Bekaa or
Mount Lebanon and then once at the destination rob the driver of his money and
vehicle, according to the statement.
As
part of their operation, the four-member team would also bring on board the
taxis several of their children.
The
husband of one of the women was also arrested by Lebanese Army Intelligence,
the statement said.
The
army urged all those who had fallen victim to the gang’s spate of thefts to
file a complaint at concerned judicial authorities to reclaim items stolen from
them.
Months ago, a gang of men,
who were later apprehended, had also targeted taxi drivers, robbing and then
killing them in the north Beirut suburbs.
