According to a security source, the plainclothes men from the Kabad outpost suspected the main culprit in Salmiya but when the latter sensed the police presence he escaped to Riqqa via the Fourth Ring Road, but he was chased and arrested.

He initially tried to deny the charges, but when he was confronted by evidence and singled out by guards of farms who had seen him stealing, admitted he and his fat friend had carried out about 16 robberies in different areas particularly in Kabad and Wafra.

During interrogation he admitted to stealing with his friend many heads of cattle including expensive sheep and power generators and from the proceeds of the sale he bought drugs.
