Two Nigerians Arrested In Kuwait For Alleged $14,918 Robbery

The Kuwaiti General Department of Criminal Investigation (GDCI) has arrested two unidentified Nigerians in Ahmadi Province for allegedly robbing an exchange office and stealing $14,918. The suspects have been charged with the crime.

According to a statement released on Wednesday by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior, as reported by Arab Times Online, the suspects were apprehended within 24 hours of the robbery at an exchange office in Mahboula, a district in southern Kuwait City. Surveillance footage published by Arab Times Online shows one of the suspects exiting a car while wearing a balaclava, entering the exchange office, and pointing what appears to be a gun at an employee.

The suspects allegedly made away with approximately $14,918.69, equivalent to 4,600 Kuwaiti Dinars when converted to U.S. dollars.

The report stated, “Investigation revealed that the gang meticulously planned the crime, monitoring the exchange offices from nearby rooftops to identify peak times. They also used stolen license plates to conceal the identities of the vehicles involved in the operation.”

One of the suspects, whose name was withheld, reportedly confessed after his arrest in Mahboula that he had scouted the location and alerted his unnamed accomplice when the office was free of customers.

“The second suspect was apprehended in the Al-Qurain Market, and the stolen money, along with a small bag containing the narcotic substance ‘crystal meth,’ was recovered from his residence. The Ministry of Interior confirmed that the suspects and seized items have been referred to the public prosecution for further legal action,” the report added.
