Sharjah Imagine one fire victim’s shock when he returned to his burnt-out flat in Al Baker Tower 4 and discovered a stranger rummaging through his personal effects.
The unidentified resident told Gulf News that when he re-entered his premises on Wednesday, a man was allegedly inside, looking through the resident’s personal pile of gold savings that had survived the blaze.
The resident said he immediately called the Sharjah Police.
The probe, meanwhile, continues into the January 24 early morning fire that swept across the rear facade of Al Baker Tower 4 in Al Taawun area.
The heat from the blaze was so intense that it destroyed 14 cars nearby.
Search for a new pad
The fire has left 125 families homeless and searching for permanent accommodation near Al Taawun, where victims claim that rental rates have jumped by more than 10 per cent almost overnight. There’s been no word by Sharjah authorities whether landlords found overcharging fire victims could be punished.
