Bold Daylight Robbery Foiled In Maidan Hawally After Video Exposes Attackers

Published

on

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, June 30: The Court of Cassation has sentenced a Kuwaiti businesswoman to four years in prison with hard labor and fined her 1,152,000 Kuwaiti dinars after convicting her of defrauding several citizens. She falsely claimed to offer residential apartments in the UK for Kuwaiti students, convincing parents that she owned properties near British universities. In exchange for reserving these non-existent units, she collected large sums of money. Investigations revealed that she operated the fraudulent scheme in partnership with an Egyptian accomplice who fled the country once the scam was uncovered. Despite the exposure, she continued her fraudulent activities until her arrest. She was later charged with fraud and money laundering.
