Swat: Police said around 20 tourists were looted at gunpoint in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Swat region on Monday, media reports said.

Similar incidents were reported in the region in recent times when two tourist coaches were robbed in separate incidents in the province.

A police official told Dawn.com that the robbery took place in Swat's Bahrain area.

"Around 20 tourists from Lahore were travelling to Kalam in a coaster when they were stopped by motorcyclists," he said, adding that the armed men then entered the coaster and looted the tourists.

The robbers managed to escape with Rs400,000 in cash and nine smartphones, the official told the newspaper.

Police have started an investigation into the incident.
