Burqa gang stole watches worth £1m from Selfridges



In London, a gang consisting of six members targeted the Selfrigdes store and stole £1.000.000 worth of luxury watches. They were dressed in burqas to disguise themselves. A burqa is a religious dress, in which you are completely unrecognizable. When the moped crashed where they fled with, two suspects were arrested. Onlookers stopped them from leaving. One holdall containing 41 watches was recovered. Detective Chief Inspector Andy Noyes thanks the onlookers for their brave actions: “Their quick thinking and brave actions have helped our investigation” Afterwards, more items were recovered, such as two motorbikes and a black BMW. 

My opinion
This robbery was successful, because the robbers were unrecognizable. They were wearing burqas, so no one could see who they were. For me, this is an example why burqas have to be forbidden in our society. It is impossible to see whether the person in a burqa is really a religious Islamic woman, or, just like this robbery, someone else who takes advantage of this dress. Maybe it is too radical to say that wearing of a burqa must be forbidden, but I think it is too dangerous to let this happen again.
