Jahra Man Robbed At Gunpoint; Authorities Probe Insider Link

KUWAIT CITY, May 27: Jahra detectives have launched an investigation to track down two unidentified suspects who allegedly robbed a Bedoun man of KD 61,000 in cash, along with official documents, bills of exchange, and receipts. The incident took place last Tuesday around 4:00 p.m. in the Taima area.

According to a security source, the victim reported being ambushed when a vehicle veered in front of his car, forcing him to stop. Two assailants exited the vehicle and forcibly seized the cash and documents. The victim told officers he did not recognize the attackers but pointed to another individual (currently being summoned for questioning) whom he suspects of orchestrating the robbery, as this person was aware of the large sum he was carrying.

Authorities have yet to disclose the victim’s reason for holding such a substantial amount of money or the nature of his occupation. Investigations are ongoing.
