Kabul Residents Worried About Increase of Crime

Qani said that they are trying to identify and arrest people who commit crimes, armed robberies, murders, and car thefts in the country.

Some Kabul residents are worried about the increase in crime in the capital.

Milad is one of the residents of Kabul City, whose car was stolen by armed robbers from the Taymani area of Kabul four months ago.

He said that even though he has contacted the security agencies many times during the period, there is no news about his car.

“I was working inside the house, it was around 6 to 6:30 in the evening, the car started, and the sound came inside the house. I went out and saw that someone was inside the car and the car moved, and robbers stole my car,” said Milad.

Some other residents of Kabul said that the level of criminal crimes, armed robberies, and car thefts has increased in recent months.

“Recently, there is crime, especially car theft, mobile phone theft…, they even kill a person for a mobile phone,” said Ahmad Naweed Nikzad, a resident of Kabul.

“Car theft must be stopped,” said Sheren Bik, a Kabul resident.

Abdul Matin Qani, the spokesman of the Ministry of Interior, spoke of the security in the country and said that in the last six months, around 800 people have been arrested for various crimes across the country.

“In the last six months, around 800 criminals have been caught in various crimes, and our police have communication connections in all provinces, and we do not let criminals escape and they get caught,” said Abdul Matin Qani.

Qani said that they are trying to identify and arrest people who commit crimes, armed robberies, murders, and car thefts in the country.
