Security authorities in Kuwait's Farwaniya Governorate have arrested a three-member gang accused of pickpocketing bus passengers across multiple areas.
The suspects were apprehended after a ticket inspector reported repeated incidents of passengers being robbed on buses, prompting authorities to initiate surveillance and verification measures.

Investigations were supported by surveillance camera footage from inside the vehicles, which documented several of the alleged thefts and helped identify those involved.
Authorities apprehended three expatriates and recovered KD333 believed to be proceeds from the robberies. The suspects, along with the seized cash, have been taken into custody and referred to the competent authorities for further legal action.
