Snatching Incidents
Snatching incidents have become a common occurrence in the capital city of Islamabad. The culprits target innocent citizens, often snatching their belongings, including cell phones, wallets, and jewelry. The rise in such incidents, therefore, has created a sense of fear among the public.

Especially, they have increased patrols in areas where snatching incidents have been reported and are taking strict action against the criminals involved. Furthermore, the police have been educating the public about safety measures they can take to avoid becoming a victim of snatching.
In recent times, the police have successfully arrested a number of suspects involved in such crimes. And the criminals have been prosecuted, and justice has been served to the victims. Above all, the Islamabad Police have set up helplines, where citizens can report any incidents of snatching, and the police respond promptly to provide assistance.
Additionally, Islamabad Police have launched a special initiative called the “Community Policing Program”. The aim of this program is to foster a close relationship between the police and the citizens. Under this program, the police have established a dedicated helpline that citizens can call in case of any emergency or report any suspicious activity.
