KUWAIT CITY, April 8: As part of the ongoing efforts by the Criminal Security Sector to combat crime and apprehend offenders, the General Department of Criminal Investigations—represented by the Ahmadi Governorate Investigations Department—has successfully arrested a gang of six Egyptian nationals involved in professional vehicle theft.

The gang was found to be stealing vehicles from open yards across various areas and transporting them to a garage located in the Salmi Scrapyard. There, the stolen vehicles were dismantled and sold as spare parts. To eliminate evidence of their crimes, the remaining vehicle bodies were compressed and destroyed.

The arrest followed the receipt of accurate intelligence regarding suspicious activities by a gang specializing in vehicle theft. Detectives launched a thorough investigation, which led to the identification and surveillance of the suspects. They were subsequently arrested, and multiple stolen vehicles along with various spare parts were discovered in their possession.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the gang operated primarily during late-night hours, towing vehicles from dirt yards and moving them to the Salmi scrapyard for dismantling.

The suspects, along with the seized items, have been referred to the competent authorities for the necessary legal procedures.

The Ministry of Interior reiterates its commitment to pursuing all those who violate the law and to take decisive action against anyone who threatens the safety and security of the nation, its citizens, and its residents. The Ministry also urges the public to cooperate with security forces and report any suspicious behavior or activities through official channels to help safeguard society.
