The activists on social media have circulated the incident, denouncing the security chaos and the situation throughout the Syrian provinces as the escalating crime rate.

On January 3, SOHR activists reported that a gang comprising a woman and two young men attempted to rob a jewellery store in Yabrod in Rif Dimashq, after shooting the store owner in front of his house.

According to reliable SOHR sources, the woman was the partner of the victim, and she planned with her brother and a third person to shoot the victim in exchange for 25,000 USDs.

Accordingly, the store owner was injured severely and was taken to receive medical treatment, while local authorities interfered and arrested them.

Yesterday, residents found the body of a woman killed in mysterious circumstances, with her body dumped in an Arabic well in the area between Shain town and Jab Al-Bostan village in Homs countryside, after she went missing nearly two months ago, while local authorities interfered to expose the details of the crime.
