DOHA: Burglars have struck again at another Filipino accommodation on Thursday in Muaither prompting the Philippine Embassy to call on the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation on the incident.
This is the second similar incident perpetrated by still unknown suspects that victimised Filipino workers which took place in a span of less than a month.
“We will ask the police to conduct a more thorough investigation into the incident since this has happened twice among our community members,” said Ambassador Crescente Relacion who expressed alarm over the incident.
According to one of the victims who is a field engineer of a construction firm, the suspects have ransacked at least seven rooms of the villa by destroying the doors and have taken away eight laptops, four mobile phones, two digital cameras and cash and valuables worth QR20,000.
He said the police have already conducted an investigation at the scene of the crime.
Just like in the previous incident at a villa in Altamimi Aziziya, the suspects had entered the house during the day time while everybody was out at their workplaces.
Relacion has advised Filipinos living in villas not to leave any valuables and cash while going out from home and instead deposit them in safety vaults of their offices if need be.
The Philippine Association of Safety Engineers-Qatar Chapter (PHASE-Qatar) has also issued some safety measures to prevent such incidents in happening in the future.
Francis Tan, president of PHASE-Qatar, suggested that Filipinos living in villas should now consider installing CCTV cameras with built-in memory, put some metal plate on their bedroom doors and set up a fire alarm system to deter burglars from pursuing their ill motives.
Tan said they are also considering a separate training seminar to community members that will focus on safety measures at home similar to that being conducted by the Ministry of Interior to various communities in the past months. The Peninsula
