KUWAIT CITY, May 31: Investigators from the Bayan Investigations Unit under the Hawalli Governorate Investigation and Research Department have arrested two women accused of orchestrating a high-value jewelry theft spree totaling over KD 200,000.

The suspects, who posed as wealthy clients, allegedly targeted upscale jewelry stores, stealing lightweight and expensive items—chiefly diamond necklaces from international brands—by distracting sales staff and concealing the stolen goods. According to a security source, the women exploited busy moments in the shops, returning multiple times in designer clothing, luxury accessories, and sunglasses to maintain their ruse.

Following a surge in theft reports in Hawalli Governorate over a short period, a specialized task force was established. Surveillance footage from affected stores revealed two elegantly dressed women executing the thefts with calculated ease. Investigators were able to identify the vehicle used in the crimes and trace it back to the suspects.

With a warrant secured from the Public Prosecution, security forces raided the women’s residences in West Abdullah Al-Mubarak and Hawalli. There, they recovered the stolen items, which the suspects had planned to smuggle and sell outside Kuwait. During interrogation, the women confessed to the scheme, admitting to deliberately targeting shops across multiple locations.

Both women have been referred to the Public Prosecution, and the recovered stolen goods have been entered into evidence.

KUWAIT CITY, June 1: Six expatriates have been referred to the Deportation Center after being caught inside a restaurant in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh that had been officially closed by the Kuwait Fire Force. Officers from the Residency Affairs Investigations Department arrested individuals following a report that the restaurant had been illegally reopened.

According to the source, the individuals claimed they entered through a rear door, which did not display a violation closure sticker, to retrieve food and prevent spoilage. However, authorities emphasized that entering any premises under administrative closure, regardless of the access point, is a legal violation.

A spokesperson from the Fire Force confirmed that any attempt to bypass a sealed restaurant for violating rules, including entering through alternate doors, is strictly prohibited. Expatriates found guilty of such violations face immediate deportation, while Kuwaiti citizens involved are referred to the judiciary for prosecution.
