The Shahrah-e-Noor Jehan police on Sunday claimed to have busted a gang of robbers led by a female that was wanted for numerous house burglaries.

The arrested were identified as Humera, Mohammed Iqbal, Mohammed Muneer and Mohammed Nadeem.

The three male members of the gang were also wanted in over a dozen cases of encounters besides the house robberies.

The entire gang would then enter the house by holding the person hostage with a dagger.

The dagger and three pistols were recovered from their possession.  Further investigations are underway.
