Burglars are taken advantage of strict curfews imposed in Arakan State to rob shops in Kyauktaw. Several were robbed near the Shwe Pyi Thit bus station on Saturday morning.
“Daw Moe Shwe’s shop was broken into. Food supplies worth about 500,000 Kyat (US $587) was stolen from her shop,” said Ko Maung Chay.
He also said mobile phones were robbed from another shop close to the bus station on the same night.
“No-one sleeps is sleeping in their shops since the violence started for their own security. They close their shops in the evening and re-open in the morning. Their shops were burglarized because no-one is guarding them. .”
The curfew in Kyauktaw has been relaxed but there are still restrictions of being on the street from 10 pm to 5 am.
“There are no soldiers deployed near the Shwe Pyi Thit bus station. They’re deployed near the Gissapa Nadi Bridge. It’s a bit far away.”
