Police are investigating the theft of two safes holding over Rf 900,000 (US$58,365) from Damas Company’s head office, located on the fifth floor of the company’s building.
General Manager of Damas Ahmed Shakeeb said on Sunday that the two safes were noticed missing when the office was opened on Saturday.
He claimed the “theft was well planned” as the safes were stolen from the office without any damage to the office or locks.
“Thieves must have used the keys to open the doors. They had only entered the room where the safes were locked in,” Shakeeb said.
However he noted that it is too soon to say whether any employee was involved, adding that the theft has now been reported to the police.
Police Sub-Inspector Ahmed Shiyam confirmed that police are investigating the theft.
No arrests have yet been made.
Meanwhile police are also investigating the theft of Rf 400,000 (US$26,000) from a safe in the office of the Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) earlier this month.
According to police, a group of people entered the MTCC office in the Hulhumale Ferry terminal in Male’ by forcing open the door and cutting a hole through the ceiling to the first floor where the safe was located.
The thieves then forced open the safe and took the money.
Police observed the thieves “most probably” had information as to where the safe was located and that there was a significant sum of money inside.

It is time for Gasim to leave politics now. He cannot get elected except from his island. He is dreaming now. He is not popular anymore. He owes so much money to MMA and than give this money to the poor is not philanthropy.
To be expected.
Rising price of foodstuffs and a deteriorating economic situation with the real exchange rate predicted to go sky high next year was expected to have caused this.
We can all harp about it but President Nasheeds failure to reverse the economic downturn resulted in this whole fiasco as well as his insistence on implementing costly and unpopular reforms. The opposition of course had a hand in increasing civil servants wages. However for the most part Nasheed dug his own grave.
No worries. Just don't tax them for the next 10 years. It has been done before you know.
