In a cinematic scene that took the Kuwaiti street’s breath away, a branch full of customers of one of the famous exchange companies in the Al-Shaab area turned into a real arena of terror, after an unknown masked man stormed the place armed with what looked like a firearm and an incendiary device. He succeeded in spreading panic and paralyzing the movement of employees, seizing thousands of dinars before disappearing in the blink of an eye amid a state of maximum security alert.
The details of the crime go back to an urgent report received by the Operations Room of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior, stating that a person who completely concealed his features stormed the company, carrying a gun and a canister filled with a liquid suspected to be “gasoline,” threatening to burn the place and those in it if everyone did not obey his orders, which forced the employees to submit completely to protect lives.
The masked man drags employees and steals various currencies
The accused was not satisfied with the verbal threat, but rather crossed all red lines by using physical violence to impose his control. The perpetrator assaulted and beat a number of employees, before jumping into the prohibited area behind the “counter,” holding the bags, to collect the value of 21 thousand Kuwaiti dinars in various currencies, and then fleeing, leaving behind a spiral of astonishment and panic. The criminal security and investigation sectors quickly moved, combing the area and using the latest tracking techniques and technical analysis of surveillance cameras, beginning a Hollywood manhunt to unravel the threads of the mystery.
Intensive investigations only took a few hours until the biggest surprise was revealed, as the security forces were able to identify the mastermind and arrest him in an elaborate ambush, and it was found that he had Filipino citizenship.
But the biggest shock revealed by the initial investigations was that the terrifying firearm that froze the blood of the employees and shook the area was nothing but a “fake weapon” (a toy gun), in which the accused relied on psychological intimidation and optical illusions to carry out the daring robbery. The recovered funds were recovered and the accused was referred to the investigation authorities to receive his punishment, in an incident that once again proved that the vigilance of Kuwaiti security is capable of bringing down the most powerful professionals in record time.
