CCTV Captures Couple Stealing KD 800 from Expat at ATM

KUWAIT CITY, May 27:  The Criminal Investigation Department has launched a manhunt for a man and a woman accused of stealing KD 800 from an ATM after an expatriate mistakenly believed the machine had malfunctioned.

According to a security source, the incident occurred at a shopping mall in Hawally, where the victim attempted to withdraw KD 800. Although the transaction was confirmed and the amount was deducted from his account, the money was not dispensed at the time, leading the expatriate to assume the ATM was out of order.

The expatriate later contacted the bank, which confirmed the transaction had been completed. Suspicious, he returned to the mall and reported the matter to management. Upon reviewing CCTV footage, he observed a man and a woman collecting the cash from the ATM. The man was seen taking the money and handing it to the woman before inserting his own bank card to make another withdrawal.

The case has been officially registered as theft at the Hawally Square Police Station. Investigators are now working with the bank to identify the suspects through ATM transaction records and surveillance footage.

In exchange for reserving these non-existent units, she collected large sums of money.
