Police have arrested a Sri Lankan woman for stealing expensive jewelry from shops in Kuwait, reports Al-Anba daily. The daily quoting security sources said the arrest came following a call by the owner of a jewelry shop in Hawalli to the Operations Department of the Interior Ministry.
It has been reported the owner accused the woman of stealing
but she denied the charge. However, when police arrived at the shop, they
requested to see the CCTV film. The recording showed the woman hiding a piece
of jewelry in her dress in a sensitive place.

requested salesmen to show valuable items and somehow managed to distract the
salesmen and stole the goods.

She has been referred to the concerned authorities and the victims have been
summoned to identify her from a legal lineup and identify the stolen goods.
