Thieves have broken into Men’s Closet Aminaa, a designer’s shop belonging to one Amina Faal, a resident of Brusubi, and reportedly escaped with items worth more than two hundred thousand dalasis on Sunday, March 19.
Speaking to The Fatu Network, the young businesswoman said she was shocked after realizing her shop was broken into by thieves.
According to Amina Faal, the Chief Executive Officer of Men’s Closet Aminaa, the incident occurred at around 9 a.m. on Sunday.
“I was told by neighbours that my back window to the shop was open. I rush to check and found that it was broken,” she said.
She stated the thieves entered the shop through the window and then to the toilet where they broke the other door and get into the shop.
“They took a lot of items in the shop which can be worth up to more than two hundred thousand dalasis (D200, 000.00). The items stolen include clothes, shoes, and other luxury accessories. The shoes are many and I had a new arrival which I didn’t price before the incident occurred,” she explained.
Ms. Faal described the incident as a major setback for her young business while calling on people to help her recover the items.
She further revealed that the thieves have broken the doors of her shop which needed urgent maintenance. This, she added, is devastating as she would have to start everything again from scratch.
The matter has been reported to the police for investigation, however, such incidents are not uncommon as barely a day or two will pass without hearing such news on local news outlets across the country.
