One of the rooms was occupied by a foreign national‚ a woman aged 40. The police said where the tourist was found sleeping‚ the men stole a tablet computer‚ a pair of binoculars‚ a camera‚ trainers‚ cosmetics‚ travel documents and clothing.
Police said the woman was not hurt during this incident.
In the other three rooms‚ three plasma television sets were stolen.
