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

In a statement on Wednesday, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior, as reported by Arab Times Online, confirmed that the suspects were apprehended within 24 hours after robbing an exchange office in Mahboula, a district in southern Kuwait City.<\/p>\n

\nFootage on the Arab Times Online website shows one of the suspects exiting a car wearing a balaclava. He is seen entering the exchange office and pointing what appears to be a gun at an official inside.<\/p>\n

The suspects allegedly made away with approximately $14,918.69, equivalent to 4,600 Kuwaiti Dinars when converted to U.S. dollars.<\/p>\n

The report stated, \u201cInvestigation 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second suspect was apprehended in the Al-Qurain Market, and the stolen money, along with a small bag containing the narcotic substance \u2018crystal meth,\u2019 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,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n
