Looting has been reported in different districts across Egypt.
In Alexandria, at least eight police stations were set on fire on Saturday and prisoners released. Thugs were seen carrying wooden window frames and gates as well as sanitary ware that they took out of police stations.
In the Maadi district of Cairo, residents living next to the Carrefour shopping mall–which was looted on Friday–told Al-Masry Al-Youm by phone that they saw thugs approaching their buildings.
Similar reports were relayed from the Mohandessin area in Cairo, where thugs reportedly attacked houses.
In the affluent quarter of the Fifth Settlement to the east of Cairo, residents also reported thugs cordoning their buildings and threatening to break in. Six armored vehicles have been deployed in the neighborhood, according to eyewitnesses.
However, no military deployment was witnessed in other districts, which led to a scare among residents.
Protesters have been attempting to organize popular committees in endangered areas in order to secure neighborhoods.
