According to northern Shan State, three shops at the intersection of Biha Road in Lashio City's 1st block were looted between around 11 p.m. on May 15 and ending around 4 a.m. It is understood that the three shops that were looted were shoe stores, clothing stores and daily necessities stores.
The owner of one of the shops who robbed the store said that they did not break the lock of my storefront, but entered the yard, smashed the window with a knife from behind, and then entered the store to take the things away, the only good thing was that the things in the store were not all taken away. There were 3 stores that night that were robbed, and I don't know how much it is worth.
In addition, he said, the shops that were robbed were in a row, and the remaining three shops in that place, except for the restaurant, were robbed. Now the number of robbers has increased, and the sense of security is very weak, because the police department does not take care of it much, so we have not reported the crime to the police station. The remaining 2 shops that were robbed, whether the owner went to the police station to report the crime, we do not know.
After the military took over power, the number of robberies and thefts in Lashio city increased significantly, but almost no murderers were arrested. In addition, gambling is very popular in Lashio City, and the number of drug addicts has increased significantly.
