UK: 'Men in burkas' : Robbery

[Vikrant]

Six men armed with axes have carried out a "smash-and-grab" raid at London's Selfridges department store.

Police said the robbers, reportedly dressed in burkas, smashed glass cabinets to steal high value watches.

Two suspects were later arrested when they came off a moped and members of the public stopped them fleeing.

The store in Oxford Street tweeted no-one was hurt in Thursday's robbery. The value of the stolen watches has yet to be established.

Obviously we need to ban burqas, eh, righties?

Are we supposed to care about a robbery? This is somehow news?

Obviously we need to ban burqas, eh, righties?

I believe France has banned burqas on the security grounds. I think UK may have harder time banning burqa because it has large muslim population.

On a separate note, burqas have been used by terrorists in J&K and other parts of the world to sneak in weapons. However, it will be tough for any country with substantial muslim population to ban burqas.
