Madina Town police on Sunday registered a case against a boy and his friends for allegedly stealing $8,500 from his father’s safe. Liaqat Ali, a resident of Madina Town’s Y-Block, filed a complaint saying that he had locked his money and valuables in his safe before he left for Hajj.
He said he returned a few days ago and discovered that the money from his safe was missing. He said after investigating the matter himself for a few days, he concluded that his son Aamir Ali had stolen the money.
He said his son avoided confrontation raising his suspicion. He said he was certain that his son had taken help from his friends to break the safe.
He said his son had gone missing since he had threatened him with a police case. Police said they were looking for the suspect.
