An Italian citizen's handbag was stolen by Muggers on Tuesday night while she and two other people were walking down Chattogram City's SS Khaled Road.

It was approximately 10.45 p.m. when the Italian national, Cristina Jemma, a photographer, and two other people left Shilpakala Academy and headed for Jamal Khan.


At one instance, criminals took her handbag from a CNG-powered autorickshaw and fled.


Cristina reports that she took out Tk 30,000 from an ATM, along with other valuables including a camera and cell phone in the bag.

Officers are attempting to apprehend the robbers.
