Shoe thefts at Sharjah mosques drop

  DUBAI – The number of shoe thefts at mosques in Sharjah has dipped significantly following an intensified campaign by Sharjah Police, officials said. According to Sharjah Police, increased surveillance and deployment of undercover police have led to a big drop in the number of thefts at mosques. Police noted that thieves target mosques and cars of those heading for prayers. Shoe thefts are more frequent during evening prayers, according to police. “We’ve intensified patrols during Taraweeh and Tahjjud prayers around mosques to prevent the theft of shoes and other valuables from cars at parking lots,” according to Sharjah Police. Sharjah Police have received complaints from people who lost wallets, bags and other valuables at crowded places, including parks, supermarkets and malls. “We’ve been coordinating with Sharjah City Municipality authorities to further improve the lighting of public parking areas around mosques and markets," a police official said.
