Well. On one hand we got teens who can’t get enough of their Snapchats and Tik-Toks. And then on the other hand, we have these two rank amateurs of a thief.<\/p>\n
Just yesterday, these two ‘enterprising’ borrowers of a smartphone that surely didn’t belong to them, decided to do what teens usually do – snap a selfie and announce their bromance to the whole world (that last part being unintentional on their part, but lets stick with that version of things).<\/p>\n

These two dudes AKA street criminals decided that snapping that selfie on a stolen phone was a great idea. The duo got the phone after holding up a lady at gunpoint in Karachi’s DHA Phase VI locality.<\/p>\n
This incident was unfortunate for the lady. But as it turns out later, it proved to be more ‘unfortunate’ for our selfie-obsessed ragamuffins.<\/p>\n
The two thieves were eventually caught, thanks to something called the cloud. No we are not talking about Karachi’s weather patterns here, but a piece of technology that helps you back up everything on your phone, such as your photos.<\/p>\n
Erum Altaf. the woman whose phone was stolen at Badar Commercial area on December 27, decided to log on to her Google Photos account less than a week after the incident. \u00a0And what she found there led to the arrest of our selfie-obsessed thieves.<\/p>\n
It should be mentioned that Ms. Altaf had filed a first information report (FIR) two days later against the criminals 2 days after her phone was stolen.<\/strong><\/p>\n Turns out our unscrupulous thieves did not know their photos were being uploaded to Erum’s account. The police easily identified the accused – Nadeem and Majid – with the help of NADRA, and apprehended them.<\/p>\n A team from Darakhshan Police immediately arrested them at their place. Apart from the stolen phone, they recovered two illegal weapons from the thieves.<\/p>\n All’s well that ends well, as the phone has been returned to Ms Erum and the thieves will have to face the long arm of the law.<\/p>\n ALSO READ<\/p>\n People are Now Taking “Volcano Selfies” and Its as Dangerous as It Sounds<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well.
