Police offered to let Dominique Metzger choose what punishment they would inflict
A TV reporter had her hand bag rifled through and items stolen as she reported live from the World Cup. The Mirror revealed that Dominique Metzger from Argentina was doing a piece to camera from the Corniche area of Doha when the incident happened.
Qatar began the tournament on Sunday with a 2-0 loss to Ecuador and while the game was taking place, Ms Metzger was on air outside the stadium. After the broadcast she discovered that a number of items had been stolen from her handbag, the Mirror reports.She said: “I went to the station and that was when the cultural differences began. The policewoman said to me: ‘We have high-tech cameras everywhere and we are going to locate him [the thief] with face detection.
It has been reported that approximately 15,000 cameras with facial recognition have been installed at stadiums. The incident with Metzger is the second in a growing list of run-ins that reporters have suffered over recent days. Fans excited to get the game underway got stuck in a huge crowd which then shoved against police lines to try to get in, according to reports. The approaches to the stadium – which is the only one of the eight venues only accessible by road – were gridlocked in the hours before the opening ceremony.
