During this Covid pandemic face mask and hand sanitising is compulsory and so it was also followed by burglars while looting a gold jwellery shop in the city of Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh state of India.
The shop owners gave hand sanitizer to the burglars after which the burglars took out a gun and looted the complete shop containing gold and cash.
The police are on the look out for the burglars based on the security camera video recording.
It's difficult now to make out with the mask who is a genuine customer and who is a burglar . Do you agree. Any solution.?

That is just despicable, to rob a shop. People want to earn a living by decent means. Robbery is the work of dishonest, good-for-nothing men.

@jayanth_77 Not the right recourse. There will always be a decent source of living.

Yes robbery is an evil act but when people don't find any respectable means of livelihood them enter into the world of crime.

@eileenleyva yes I agree. But some people want to become instantly rich.

@jayanth_77 It's really bad and it's happening even here. The government is trying to put a stop to it.

I think this is is the first instance of using the Covid protocol used for committing a crime.

I saw the video making rounds on social media and news channels. Quite strange that they followed all safety measures. And you are right, with masks on its tough to identify people.

Yes it's tough to identify criminals with mask as now all look the same wearing the mask.

I think even when they are wearing mask police can find them with the help of forensic and video recording

Yes police can but the task becomes tougher.
But things are not good without masks as well!

I think its not easy to trace the burglers if they are first time offenders.

The image above is the actual footage? I heard about a few crimes committed recently during night times.
Either policing has taken a hit or the criminals have got more desperate or emboldened.

My goodness!!
Ofcourse it's not possible to differenciate a burglar and a customer.
