Ghulam Memon said growing unemployment was reportedly one of the reasons behind street crimes, while he thought that drug addiction was one of the fundamental reasons behind them. He said drug addicts were mostly involved in street crimes. As they did not have a source of income, so they thought to make arrangement for their drugs through crimes, he maintained.
