Bold Daylight Robbery Foiled In Maidan Hawally After Video Exposes Attackers

KUWAIT CITY, April 22: A dramatic attempted robbery and assault in Maidan Hawally was swiftly solved after detectives used video footage captured by a building guard to identify and arrest the culprits—a young man and woman who targeted an Arab expatriate in broad daylight.

According to security sources, a 41-year-old victim filed a complaint at the police station stating he was attacked by two strangers—one male, one female—who attempted to steal his bag. The woman allegedly grabbed the bag, while the man launched into a physical and verbal assault when the victim resisted. The assailant reportedly threatened the man, shouting, “I swear I’ll show you and get you back,” before unleashing a string of insults.

The pair fled the scene, but not before a vigilant building guard captured the entire incident on video. The footage played a crucial role in helping Hawalli detectives crack the case.

Acting swiftly, investigators from the Hawalli Investigations Department, aided by a confidential informant and surveillance footage, identified the suspects and tracked them down to Salwa. Both were arrested and taken to the police station for questioning. During interrogation, the male suspect admitted to engaging in a heated argument and a minor scuffle after the complainant allegedly called him a “thief.” The female suspect confessed outright to attempting the theft. Legal proceedings are now underway, with both suspects facing charges for attempted robbery, assault, and verbal threats.

KUWAIT CITY, July 21: As part of its ongoing efforts to combat human trafficking and the illegal issuance of visas, the Ministry of Interior, through the General Department of Residence Affairs Investigations and its Inspection Department, has uncovered a new case involving a Kuwaiti citizen who misused his authority for financial gain.

According to officials, the department received a tip-off about a Kuwaiti citizen authorized to sign on behalf of 25 companies and 4 affiliated businesses. He was found to have used these companies to illegally register expat workers and sell visas. A total of 56 workers were registered under these firms, including three violators of residency laws and three who had breached the terms of their visas. Investigators also discovered that some workers were employed by entities other than those sponsoring their residency.

Upon being summoned and confronted with the evidence, the accused confessed to facilitating the issuance of residency permits in exchange for payments ranging from KD 350 to KD 1,200. He admitted receiving these sums through two intermediaries (one Syrian and one Indian) without the workers actually being employed.

All individuals involved have been referred to the appropriate legal authorities for further action.

The General Department of Residence Affairs Investigations emphasized its continued commitment to intensifying crackdowns on human trafficking. The department urged both citizens and residents to report any suspicious activity to help safeguard the nation’s security and social stability.
